А у меня такой вопрос. Появилась связь с какими то внешними истониками. Пишет найдены совпадения (Record Matches) с Ukraine, Kyiv Orthodox Consistory Church Book Duplicates, 1840-1845. И можно их подтвердить. Но не подтверждает а говорит что надо заплатить. Что дают эти подтверждения.?

Спасибо! Понял! Смысла деньги платить пока нет.
Этот источник и так частично доступен на familysearch.org Правда в очень ограниченом виде. Индексированные данные видни, а скан источника нет.

Это называется нормальной практикой автоматических платежей, до которой у нас в России еще не скоро придут, хотя подвижки есть. Это удобная вещь, но за которой надо внимательно следить. Прежде чем вешать клеймо в мошенничестве на порядочную фирму стоит для начала разобраться с тем как проходит банковский процессинг и как устроены автоматические платежи. Получите заслуженный минус в карму.
Во-первых, автоматическое продление подписки без Вашего указания не происходит. Вы наверняка в самом начале поставили галочку «автоматического продления». Нужно было внимательно читать то, что Вам пишут в процессе оформления подписки. Однако, как обычно, вероятно сработал метод «а ну тут и так все понятно». Во-вторых, отказ от подписки нужно/можно сделать на самом сайте.
а) не только виза, б) если с момента последней оплаты по карте не прошло больше трех лет, в) с некоторыми банками эмитентами не прокатит.
Introduction to Record Matches
Exploring historical records is an essential part of genealogical research. MyHeritage SuperSearch™ provides access to nearly 10 billion historical records that can provide invaluable information about your family history. Record Matching technology takes it one step further by doing the searching for you: it scans the vast archives for details that match your family tree, and notifies you when it finds a record that may add valuable information to your tree.
A Record Match is a document relevant to your family’s history, such as the birth record of one of your ancestors, a tombstone photo of a relative, or a newspaper article describing how your great-grandfather met and fell in love with your great-grandmother.
Record Matching is extremely robust: it can translate names between languages and has an algorithm for identifying alternate variations of a name. Even if the record is in a different language than your family tree, Record Matching will find it for you. It’s particularly good with synonyms and phonetics, so you can expect matches ranging from the obvious (such as William in the record vs. Bill in your family tree) to the subtle (Alessandro in the record vs. Sasha in the family tree).
Each match has a Confidence Score that ranges from half a star to 5 stars, indicating the likelihood that the historical record found is indeed relevant to the associated individual in your tree.
Record Matching runs periodically to include new individuals recently added or updated in family trees, as well as the new record collections that are added on MyHeritage. Extracting information from Record Matches is free to all MyHeritage users with family trees, though you’ll need a paid subscription (Data or Complete) to view the full records.
How to Use Record Matches
Record Matches are calculated automatically for all family trees on MyHeritage. When you log in and visit your family site on MyHeritage, you’ll see an icon on the upper left side of the screen with the number of Record Matches found for your tree. You can click on the icon to enter the Record Matches page.
Another way to view your Record Matches is to select “Matches by people” or “Matches by source” under the “Discoveries” tab in the main menu, and then select the “Record Matches” tab.
The “Matches by people” page will list your Record Matches according to the individuals in your tree, with the matches most likely to be valuable to you listed first: matches with a high Confidence Score and with information that you don’t currently have in your tree.
The “Matches by source” page lists the Record Matches according to the record collections in which the relevant record appears.
You can also access Record Matches from your family tree page. When MyHeritage finds a Record Match for an individual on your tree, a brown icon will appear on the right side of an individual’s card, indicating a Record Match. Click the icon to view the match.
Confirming and Rejecting Matches
To view the full details of a given Record Match, click “Review match.” If the details look correct and you’d like to confirm the match, click “Confirm match.”
If the match appears incorrect, you can reject it by clicking the link at the bottom of the match.
Once you confirm the match, you’ll have the opportunity to extract information from the record and add it to your family tree. You can select the information individually, or add all of it by clicking the double arrow at the bottom of the match. When you’re done, click “Save to tree.”
All MyHeritage users can extract the information from the record for free, but to view the full record, you’ll need a paid (Data or Complete) subscription.
If you later change your mind about the accuracy of the match, you can always undo it. Rejected matches will be hidden from view when you refresh the page.
Confidence Scores
Record Matching is highly accurate, but that doesn’t come at the cost of finding only the obvious matches. The algorithm assigns a Confidence Score for each Record Match based on the degree of similarity of the information in the record (names, dates, facts, relationships, etc.) to the information in the family tree. The Confidence Score is displayed next to each match.
By the way, it’s actually the matches with lower Confidence Scores that might bring you the most interesting information. A high score for a match means that your tree already contains a lot of information on that individual to compare to the information in the record, so the record might not have much to add. By contrast, when a match has a low score, that means it contains a lot of information that isn’t in your tree. That could mean that it’s incorrect… or that it’s valuable information you haven’t found anywhere else.
Record Match Emails
You can always check your family site for new Record Matches. In addition, MyHeritage will send you a weekly email (according to your preference) with new Record Matches that have been found for you. The email will alert you to any new Record Matches and provide the option to review any match directly by clicking on the links in the email. If there are no new matches, no email will be sent.
Conclusion
Record Matches are an invaluable tool that can save you a great deal of time and bring you new and exciting information about your family history. Let Record Matching do the hard work for you and enjoy the priceless discoveries they can provide.
Introducing Cross-Language Record Matches
Share
As many genealogists already know, among the major commercial genealogy websites, MyHeritage is the website of choice for international genealogy — that is, for finding ancestors and relatives all over the world, particularly in Europe. It is also extremely useful for U.S. genealogists as many of them have ancestors who arrived in the United States from other countries. This strength comes from the fact that MyHeritage is translated into 42 languages and, since its inception 17 years ago, has become the most popular and heavily-used genealogy website in most non-English speaking countries, in addition to its popularity in the English-speaking world. A huge number of international users who built millions of family trees on MyHeritage, found nowhere else, plus exclusive global record collections, and unique technology dedicated to overcoming language barriers, have all made MyHeritage an international genealogy powerhouse that is not to be missed.
We are working constantly to improve the technologies on MyHeritage even further. Today, we’re delighted to announce a significant innovation: our Global Name Translation Technology™ has been extended to apply to Record Matches as well!
Individuals researching their heritage often face a language barrier when trying to learn more about their ancestors who lived in another country. MyHeritage pioneered Global Name Translation Technology™ to help users overcome this barrier. This technology automatically translates names between languages. This unique capability, originally conceived by MyHeritage’s Founder and CEO, allows users to locate records that mention their ancestors in different and often unexpected languages (as well as in synonyms in each language). Initially, this was available in our search engine, SuperSearch™, but now this capability has been extended to automatic Record Matches as well.
For example, if you search for an ancestor you know as Alexander, the algorithm may uncover a Spanish record where his name is listed as Alejandro (a Spanish version of Alexander), or a Russian record with the name written Александр in Cyrillic characters (the Russian way to write Alexander), or its common Russian nickname Саша (Sasha).
Record Matches are records that are automatically found that match people in your family tree.
With this new addition, translated Record Matches are now calculated on an automated and regular basis. That means you will receive Record Matches with historical records and family tree profiles in other languages. When you view them, the names will also be conveniently spelled out using your own alphabet. You may already have noticed some records from other languages appearing in your matches.
This feature will help you easily locate records that would otherwise have been very difficult for you to find.
Unique to MyHeritage
This unique technology is only available on MyHeritage and works hand in hand with our huge database of international records.
For example, perhaps your American family has Greek roots. Your family tree is in English and you may not speak or understand Greek, making it difficult for you to locate information about your ancestors. With the new expansion of Global Name Translation Technology™, not only do you not need to search for records in Greek to find all information available about your ancestors, we now automatically bring you Record Matching results in Greek, along with a transliteration of the names into English. That is, the Greek names will be spelled out using the Latin alphabet, so you will be able to read them. Similarly, if your American family has Jewish roots, and a distant ancestor of yours was buried in Israel, you may now receive a match between a profile in your English family tree, and a burial record in Hebrew (which is very likely, because MyHeritage photographed and indexed all the gravestones in Israel and put them online free of charge).
How it works
Global Name Translation™ includes advanced algorithms and is based on MyHeritage’s massive multilingual and international database of 12+ billion historical records. The Global Name Translation Technology™ automatically translates names found in historical records and family trees at very high accuracy, generating all plausible versions of the name to facilitate matches in different languages. Technically speaking, it transliterates non-Latin-based names to English (e.g. from Hebrew, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, and other non-Latin scripts). English serves as the common ground behind the scenes. Without modifying data that is entered into MyHeritage and stored in its original language, this technology is able to match similar names written in different languages with each other.
The technology covers both given names and surnames and tackles names previously encountered in the past, in addition to new names never seen before, by using machine learning. It also utilizes extensive dictionaries built by MyHeritage to cover synonyms and nicknames. This means the technology can find a complex Russian name in Greek, even if that name has never been seen on the Internet in Greek before (but it was spelled out this way in a specific record that could be valuable for your research).
A few years ago, we implemented this technology for searches in our historical record database. Any search would yield results in other languages, automatically translated into the language of the query. At the same time, the technology was integrated into our matching technologies — but only for new information added to family trees. Users received translated matches with very high accuracy, but the matches were only calculated once for each family tree profile, shortly after they were added to the family tree.
We are now taking this technology one step further and processing matches using this technology on a regular basis every few weeks. Our users will now benefit from new matches as they add new information to their family tree, and as we continue adding millions of new historical records from around the world to MyHeritage. With the first round of processing, about 25 million new matches from other languages were produced for MyHeritage users, and “injected” into MyHeritage for their benefit.
Accessing your Record Matches
Record Matches are found automatically and delivered directly to you. They can be found under the “Discoveries” tab on your family site. You can either select “Matches by people” or “Matches by source” to view Record Matches found for you.
Record Matches are matches with records (as opposed to Smart Matches that are matches with family tree profiles).
To view only Record Matches, click the “Record Matches” filter as shown below:
Record Matches can also be accessed directly from your family tree. Family tree cards will display a brown icon for every individual who has Record Matches. Click this brown icon to view the Record Matches found for this individual.
Indication of Record Matches on a family tree card
If you receive a Record Match in another language, it will appear just like any other Record Match that you receive. You will see the name in the record in the same language as your family tree. You will be able to tell that the name was transliterated because it will appear in its original form, with a version in your own alphabet next to it in square brackets. Just as in the example below, in which a user with a Greek family tree received a Record Match to a U.S. census record:
The cross-language matches will also be included in the regular Record Match email notifications delivered directly to your inbox every few weeks.
Examples
Carol Kostakos Petranek, U.S. researcher at Hellenic Genealogy, is passionate about researching her Greek roots and helping other genealogists do the same. She recently received dozens of Record Matches with the new important Greek record collections on MyHeritage: Greece, Electoral Rolls (1863–1924), Corfu Vital Records (1841–1932), and Sparta Marriages (1835–1935).
This is one example of a Greek record that was matched to her English family tree:
Danielle from Australia received the following match for Michael Misroch/Mizrach in her family tree (in English) to a burial record in Billion Graves (in Hebrew).
Danielle wrote to MyHeritage that she would not have located such a match on her own. “This match gives me Michael’s wife’s name and date of death!”
Hebrew speakers will be able to notice that the parents of the interred from the burial record are called Yeshayahu and Rachel, which precisely matches the parents from the user’s family tree.
Miriam, a MyHeritage user from Israel, received the following match from the collection Netherlands, Civil marriages.
What users are saying
The release of Cross-Language Record Matches, along with the many new record collections we are adding and updating regularly, has inspired very enthusiastic feedback from users.
“Today was the first time I have ever been able to research Greek records without the assistance of any of my Greek friends,” wrote one user. “This is amazing!”
“I just spent 5 hours poring over these records and I am blown away by what I am finding,” another user shared. “This has completely upended my research by showing me family in other areas. I am taking my research in entirely new directions now!”
They’ve been calling it a “game-changer” and a “mega gold mine,” and thanking us for all the incredible discoveries they’ve been making. We are so grateful that our technology was able to connect these people with records they would never have found otherwise.
Conclusion
Anyone with a family tree on MyHeritage now enjoys Cross-Language Record Matches with our online database of billions of international historical records, to find their ancestors from around the world. This capability is unique to MyHeritage.
Our Record Matching technology will notify you automatically if any of the records on MyHeritage matches an individual in your family tree. You’ll then be able to review the record and decide if you’d like to add the new information to your tree. To fully access Record Matches or to view or save records from the other collections, you’ll need a Data or Complete subscription. However, some matches are found in free collections and can be viewed without a subscription.
We pledge to continue to innovate technology for genealogy to make family history more enjoyable and easier to use. We hope our users will enjoy this new innovation. People who are not using MyHeritage yet can start today to discover what they have been missing.
Introducing Record Matching
Share
We’re pleased to introduce today a new technology – Record Matching – that automatically finds relevant historical records for every family tree on MyHeritage!
This is an add-on feature for SuperSearch, our global search engine for historical records, that was successfully launched in June. We’re very excited about Record Matching, and believe it is a breakthrough that can bring value to almost every user of MyHeritage and to people not using MyHeritage who are curious about their family history. Read the details below and we hope you’ll share our excitement.
What is Record Matching?
If you’re like many of us who love genealogy but don’t have lots of spare time to invest in it, you’ll love Record Matching. While you’re busy with other things – or even sleeping – Record Matching does much of the work for you. It works behind the scenes on a new server farm set up by MyHeritage, constantly comparing every family tree on MyHeritage to more than 4 billion historical records on SuperSearch, looking for matches to bring to you. A Record Match is a document relevant to your family’s history, such as a birth record of one of your ancestors, a tombstone photo of a relative in your family, or a newspaper article describing how your great-grandfather met and fell in love with your great-grandmother. Record Matches are found automatically and delivered directly to you. New discoveries await you!
What’s unique about Record Matching?
Record Matching is the world’s first and only technology to find family tree matches in newspaper articles, books and other free text documents, using semantic analysis. Based on the world’s largest historical newspaper collection dating back to the 18th century that we have under license, relevant newspaper articles found using this technology are incredibly valuable in shedding light on the lives, personalities and achievements of our ancestors. We call it “adding color to family history”.
This is done in addition to matching structured data such as birth, marriage, death and census records.
Synonyms and phonetics
Record Matching is the first technology to translate names between languages, to find documents for you even in languages different than the one your family tree is in. The technology is particularly good with synonyms and phonetics, so you can expect matches ranging from the obvious (William in record vs. Bill in the family tree) to the subtle (Alessandro in record vs. Sasha in the family tree).
Each match has a Confidence Score, ranging from half a star to five stars, indicating the likelihood that the historical record found correctly belongs to the associated individual in the family tree.
Record Matching runs periodically in order to cover new individuals recently added or edited in the family trees, and to cover new data collections of historical records that we keep adding.
As you can see, Record Matching is another great family history research tool for MyHeritage users. If your family tree is on MyHeritage, we’ll continuously compare it – for free – to the billions of historical records we have, so that you’ll have a better chance to make new discoveries with no effort. The technology’s high level of accuracy will save time, and you won’t need to do a thing except sit back, relax, go through the Record Matches we deliver to you and enjoy the discoveries they bring.
How to use Record Matches
Record Matches are calculated automatically for all family trees on MyHeritage.
When you log in and visit your family site on MyHeritage, you will see a box on the side bar listing the number of Record Matches found for you. Click it to enter the Record Matches page. You can also access this page from the “Family tree” tab in your family site.
Record Matches on family site (click to zoom)
People and Collections
The page for viewing your Record Matches allows you to go over them by person or by collection. So you can view all matches that were found for a particular person in your tree, or view all matches found for everyone in your tree in a particular collection, such as the 1940 USA census.
Collections
Record Matches viewed by collections (click to zoom)
Click the blue buttons to view the matches in any of the collections. We call this the “collection page” and it displays all Record Matches from one collection. The information from your family tree is displayed on the left and information from the matching historical record, on the right.
Click any “Review match” button to drill-down and see the full record for any match. This is displayed in the Record page.
Record page
In the example Record Page below, the Record Match was an interesting newspaper article about a railroad engineer in the family tree. The date of death of this person was known in the family tree, but the newspaper reveals the unfortunate circumstances of his death – a coal shed explosion! This particular Record Match was found for Randy Seaver’s family tree (more on this below).
Note that you can save any newspaper article image and add it to your family tree by clicking the Download icon in the bottom right corner (shaped like an arrow pointing down).
People
If you prefer, you can also go over your Record Matches by people, instead of by collection. To do so, click the “By people” tab in the top right corner.
Record Matches viewed by people (click to zoom)
Click the blue buttons to view all matches of any of the people. We call the page that will open the “person page” and it displays all Record Matches of a single individual in your family tree. Information about this individual from your family tree will be conveniently displayed on the left side, allowing you to compare it quickly to the information found in the historical records.
Person page
Person page: Record Matches of a single person (click to zoom)
In the example above, the person has a match in the Social Security Death Index and another one in the 1940 USA census. Click any “Review match” button to drill-down and see the full record for any match. This is displayed in the Record Page.
Record Match in 1940 US Census (click to zoom)
Shown above is a Record Match for a person in the 1940 US census collection. Our users can click the census image to view it full-screen in our special viewer.
Confirming or rejecting Record Matches
You are encouraged to confirm or reject the matches as you go over them, indicating that they are correct or incorrect, respectively. This can be done in the Record pages, Collection pages and Person pages. It is helpful as a way to mark matches you have already reviewed in order to easily work your way through the matches. Confirmed matches will have a green checkmark next to them, and you can later change your mind and undo the confirmation if necessary. Incorrect matches will move out of the way and become hidden from view when you refresh the page. Your feedback on the accuracy of the matches will also help us improve the technology. As shown below, you can set the filtering options to temporarily hide confirmed matches from view, leaving only the pending (unconfirmed) matches displayed.
Before confirming a correct match, or shortly after, you are encouraged to extract the information from the match (scanned image, dates, events, facts, stories, etc) and add it to your family tree. At present this needs to be done manually in another window, as the first release of Record Matching does not include a save wizard for adding information directly from a match into the family tree on MyHeritage. This, along with an option to create a source citation in the family tree with the matching record, will be added soon in the first update of Record Matching. We recommend that you create a source citation for any piece of information that you add to your family tree from a historical record, so you and other researchers will know later on exactly where you got it from.
At the bottom of each list of matches you have the option to Confirm All or Reject all if you wish to apply these actions on all the matches displayed on the page instead of doing it individually.
Filtering Record Matches
In the Collection pages and Person pages, you can click the “Filtering options” link. The following screen will open, allowing you to control which matches are displayed.
Filtering Record Matches (click to zoom)
You can use filtering to hide confirmed matches (thus showing you only pending, unconfirmed matches) and you can always bring all matches back by changing the filtering options. You can view only matches to structured records (such as vital records, census records), text records (newspapers and publications), or both. You can also request to display only matches with a minimum Confidence Score of your choice.
Confidence Scores
Record Matching is highly accurate, but its accuracy doesn’t come at the price of finding fewer matches (i.e. only the obvious ones). Record Matches assesses the likelihood of each match being relevant to a family tree individual, and in the process assigns a Confidence Score for each match based on the degree of similarity of the information in the record (names, dates, facts, relationships, etc) to the information in the family tree. We have prepared an additional sub-system which we codenamed “Devil’s Advocate” which goes over the matches and reduces the score or completely rejects those that contradict information in your family tree, to reduce false positives to the minimum.
This Confidence Score, which is a unique feature of MyHeritage, is displayed next to each match and ranges from half a star to five stars. You can sort matches by score on every page, or filter matches by the score and look only at higher probability matches, or extend the scope to look at all matches, likely and unlikely.
Please note an interesting conundrum: the higher the score, the less interesting the match might be! This is because a high-scoring match means that the historical record contains and matches a lot of information in the tree, hence your tree probably contains a great deal of information about this individual, so the new match may possibly not add much new information. There may be ‘genealogy gold’ particularly in the lower scoring matches where the system is less confident about the relevancy of the match, but that doesn’t mean the match is less interesting or brings less information, rather there may not be much information in the family tree about this person to lift up the score.
Delivery of Record Matches
You can visit your family site at any time to see the Record Matches found for you, including the latest ones. In addition, we’ll be sending our users a weekly email (depending on their preference) like the one shown below. The email will list new Record Matches that were found, and provide the option to review any match directly by clicking on the links provided. This is similar to the weekly email that delivers Smart Matches™. If there are no new matches to speak of, no email will be sent.
Record Matches email notification (click to zoom)
Record Matching and Smart Matching™
Record Matching augments our flagship Smart Matching™ technology. Smart Matching™ finds matches in family trees of other users, whereas Record Matching finds matches in all other (non-family-tree) historical records. The two technologies work together in a cycle that constantly pushes forward your knowledge of your family history. As you collaborate with other users and enhance your family tree using Smart Matches™, Record Matching receives more leads and information with which to find more historical records, which in turn facilitates more Smart Matches™ with other family trees. For example, when you confirm a Smart Match™ for an individual in your family tree, with an individual in another user’s family tree, you are rewarded as all Record Matches found for the other individual automatically get applied to your family tree as well.
Enhancements on the way
There are many exciting sub-features and enhancements that couldn’t be included in the first release and will be added by us in the next few months. These include the ability to save matches directly into the tree, highlighting of matches that add new info to the family tree, real-time matches displayed immediately whenever a new person is added to the tree, and integrating the Record Matching technology into our profile pages and Family Tree Builder genealogy software.
Please note that matches that are currently shown in profile pages and in Family Tree Builder 6.0 are not Record Matches, but are simple search results in World Vital Records. These will be replaced with real Record Matches very soon.
How much does it cost?
The new Record Matching feature runs for free for everyone who has one or more family trees on MyHeritage.
Viewing the matches is free in extract (some information will be hidden), but viewing the full records and their scanned images or the newspaper articles requires a Data Subscription which is the same subscription used to view records on MyHeritage SuperSearch.
For users who prefer it, pay-as-you-go credits may be purchased to view specific records in smaller quantity, in lieu of a subscription. Credits can be used to review a few matches of high interest, but if there are a great deal of interesting matches, a Data Subscription is a more economical way to review them all – see details on data subscription and credit options.
A Data Subscription provides unlimited access to all records in MyHeritage SuperSearch and to all Record Matches. Some Record Matches, are always free and viewing them does not require payment of any kind. For viewing the full records, users are referred to the free website.
Record Matches in Action
To demonstrate how effective and interesting Record Matches can be, here are some examples from the family tree of well-known genealogy expert and author of the Genea-Musings blog, Randy Seaver. We’d like to thank Randy for allowing us to use examples from his family tree in order to demonstrate the technology. Almost 4,000 Record Matches were found by MyHeritage for Randy’s tree including hundreds of newspaper articles that will add a lot of color to the family history. As Randy nicely put it, he now has “a lot of work to do!” 🙂
Randy knew that Frederick Thomas Blanchard, his first cousin twice removed, had married Mary Helen Webster in 1912.
What Randy had never seen before was a 100-year-old newspaper article (see below) which showed that Dr. Frederick Blanchard was marrying his college sweetheart; they met when they were both students. The article lists his achievements, and indicates that the couple plan to make their home in a “cozily arranged bungalow”…
Like all Record Matches, this match was found automatically.

Here’s another example from Randy’s tree. Laura (below) has no children and not much is known about her husband.
With automatic Record Matches, Randy discovered that she was the wife of a mayor who died in a plane crash! The article also mentions that they had a son who was a judge, a fact missing in the family tree and now the door opens to find out more about this previously unknown person in the family.

Finally, here is an example of an unexpected discovery found for the family tree of MyHeritage founder & CEO, Gilad Japhet. In the tree we see his relative, Gertrude Sarah Levin, who married Solomon Deitch but little else is known about them.
The Record Match was a newspaper from Kansas in the 1930’s. It includes their wedding photo. The bride is beautiful. The caption is intriguing: “Love needed no words”. It turns out that the marriage service was conducted in sign-language as both were deaf mute… Another great example of how Record Matches adds color to what we know about the lives of our ancestors and relatives.

These are just a few of the thousands of Record Matches found for Randy’s and Gilad’s family trees, and in fact of the hundreds of millions of Record Matches that we have already found for our users, which are available as of today on MyHeritage.
Getting your Record Matches
Wondering what Record Matches we can find for you? Check your family site now to see what discoveries are already waiting for you there. If you’re using our Family Tree Builder genealogy software, be sure to publish your latest family tree to your family site on MyHeritage, in order to have Record Matches calculated for you.
If no Record Matches were found for your tree yet, worry not, all you’ll need is some patience. Record Matching works continuously and new data collections are added daily.
