Knowing history and learning about of its evolution was great. Very moving segment about the discoveries involving the Corfu/Erikoussa families: the bravery of the Christian people who hid the Jewish family from Nazis, the search and reuniting of descendants of those families, etc. Great to hear of innovations being introduced and and the new MyHeritage and Legacy partnership. Bravo!\n\nLet me start by saying, I almost NEVER give a '5!' Though I have continued to research my family history, I have been 'hesitant' to add it to Legacy since the news of the acquisition by MyHeritage. Today, I have become excited, confident, and 'relieved' to learn of the background of the acquisition and excited about how it will continue to go forward. I'm now proud and happy to be part of the Legacy/MyHeritage family!\n\nLove the way MyHeritage is communicating with their customers - and the speed with which they are generating new functionality and content. The pedigree view was a must have for me, fantastic that it is here already - new triangulation indicators is fantastic - another timesaver, and more upcoming enhancements to DNA matching - sounds like it will be a huge timesaver by cutting down on trying to build trees of matches trees to find MRCAs."\n\nLoved it! looking forward to the new stuff coming up - the big tree, Theory of Family Relativity, new ethnicity algorithm, etc! My family is stuck on a couple of my dad's father's lines and I hope these may help us break through the brick walls.\n\nLoved the story of the Greek island. \n\nMaximum rating! Great family and business story. Good company, good people. And I was in tears too. Thank you Gilad and Geoff.\n\nmore than I expected...I loved getting an idea of the future for the software\n\nNo dry eyes here when he told the story. Soo Moving!\n\nOff the charts!!!

Gilad's passion shines through all that he puts his hands to, as does Geoff's. Thank you, gentlemen!\n\nOH WOW! This was sooo amazing!
