MyHeritage.com was founded by a team of people with a passion for genealogy and a strong grasp of Internet technology. Our vision has been to make it easier for people around the world to use the power of the Internet to discover their heritage and strengthen their bonds with family and friends.

We are based in the beautiful village of Bnei Atarot, near Tel Aviv, Israel, founded by German Templers in 1902 under the name of Wilhelma.

Inspired by the surrounding fields and orchards and the lovely renovated Templer villas, one of which serves as our headquarters, we strive to use the tools of tomorrow for researching the family history of yesterday. If you are passionate like us about researching what made you the way you are, and sharing your experiences with family members and friends, then MyHeritage.com is the place for you.
