Moving from MyHeritage to LifeWell
A family tree and records service with photo tools and DNA testing, free up to 250 people. Choose MyHeritage if you want a large ancestral tree with record matches, photo repair and colourising, and DNA matching. Choose LifeWell if the people in your tree are the ones you still talk to, and you want their memories, health and appointments in the same place, with no cap on people.

How to move across
- Open LifeWell and sign in. Start with yourself.
- Add the people you already have in MyHeritage, one record at a time (people). LifeWell does not import from other services, so start with those closest to you.
- Link them to each other, and the family tree draws itself.
- Add the memories that matter, with a photo, a date and a place (memories).
- Keep MyHeritage for anything LifeWell does not do, such as historical records or DNA.

LifeWell does not keep the audio of a conversation yet: it writes down what you say. It cannot print your tree for a wall, it has no to-do list for today, and it has no iPhone app. It is not medical advice.
