I signed up for MyHeritage online company. My previous researches provided me a solid background in that matter, which allows me to suspect the very unprofessional and speculative work of those companies. I was curious to know and confront my personal knowledge with the work of this company, leader in that market. MyHeritage.jpg MyHeritage2.jpg

In fact, how does this company differ "Italian" from "Sicilian" ethnicity ? or how can it assumes that your personal faith (Jewish) will be written in your DNA ? Those amalgams highly discredit the work of this company, which is hard to believe made by scientists.
