On this page I will show you how to sign up for My Heritage and set up your account.
Click the image above to visit the My Heritage home page.
This should take you to a page that looks like this:
The next page will ask you if you want to be on the 'Premium' or 'Basic' plan. Premium has a lot more advantages than Basic, but at a price. For the purposes of this assignment, I will be using the Basic plan, but feel free to sign up for Premium if you would like the full package. To sign up for the Basic plan, just click "Keep free plan" (where the red arrows are pointing). If you would like to go Premium, click where the yellow arrows are pointing.
The next page will ask you to enter a password. Pick a password that you will remember, type it in the boxes, and click Continue. (Note: the password must be at least 5 characters long, but the site will tell you that anyway! :) )
So now you've finished your initial setup of your account! This page is just a quick overview of the tools My Heritage offers, so have a quick read through and then click "Go to my family site" at the bottom of the page.
Welcome to your website for you family tree! This page will be very important for setting up the rest of your account and communicating with your relatives, so get accustomed with it!
