MyHeritage is a website for discovering, sharing and preserving family history. It offers online, mobile and software platforms to its users worldwide. Users can create their own online family tree, search for ancestors in billions of historical records, share and preserve photos and videosm while they discover and connect to new relatives. In 2003, CEO Gilad Japhet founded MyHeritage in his living room in the moshav of Bnei Atarot, just outside Tel Aviv, Israel. Gilad started the company as a result of not finding a tool that satisfied his own genealogy needs. With 40 languages, 80 million users, 1.6 billion profiles and 28 million family trees, MyHeritage is a popular destination for family history research. In February 2012, the company moved its headquarters to new offices in Or Yehuda, Israel, near Tel Aviv. Additional offices in Tel Aviv, Israel were opened in December 2014.
