Description

MyHeritage SuperSearch, looks across 5+ billion records to provide the most extensive free genealogy search available on the Internet. Thousands of new records are continuously updated. Hi-tech algorithms were created to cover spelling and phonetic variations, understand nicknames, handle synonyms and deal with ethnic variations. You can enter the last name you are researching, or a combination of a first name and last name. Searches can look for an exact spelling, or multiple spelling variations. This search engine is particularly useful if you are researching a rare last name, or an uncommon combination of a first name and last name.
