We are excited to announce that YourFolks.com has been acquired by MyHeritage, a leading global genealogy service! We are delighted to join the MyHeritage family and take this significant step for Canadian and Quebec genealogy.

We want to tell you a little bit about MyHeritage:

MyHeritage was founded in 2003 and has developed one of the world’s most popular family history platforms. It is trusted by millions of customers worldwide, and is available in 42 languages, which is a testament to the company’s international reach and diverse user base. It offers a huge variety of tools and features for genealogists of every level including searchable database of 20.8 billion historical records, the popular MyHeritage DNA test, automatic matching technologies, world-class photo enhancement features, mobile app for genealogy, and a website for researching historical newspapers named OldNews.com.

Three years ago, MyHeritage acquired Filae, the leading genealogy service in France, and the acquisition of YourFolks.com further establishes its position as a leader in the Francophone world. MyHeritage retained the Filae team in Paris and provided them with more resources to accelerate the digitization of French historical records.

This is an exciting time for people with French Canadian roots, and a major milestone for Canadian genealogy. Stay tuned for new content and exclusive offers from MyHeritage and YourFolks.com coming soon!

YourFolks.com and MyHeritage share the same vision to make genealogy reliable, easier and fun. By combining their efforts, they will be able to better serve the people doing genealogy in Quebec and Canada. YourFolks.com will continue to operate with the same services and the same team as before. In the months to come, we will announce new historical data, new services and special offers for YourFolks.com and MyHeritage users.
