PRAYER Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe Thy judgment, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou, O Merciful Saviour, send Thy Angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord! And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Today I attended the FamilySearch.org class at St. Catharines Public Library from 2pm to 4pm. In this class, we learned what is available on FamilySearch.org to search for free from anywhere. Which you can search family trees (submitted by users), historical records, user-submitted genealogies, FamilySearch Wiki, digitized books available for public use, and memories (submitted by users).
We learned how to submit your own tree to FamilySearch.org, search the website for records, memories, trees, etc; how to add your own memories on FamilySearch.org
Also learned that St. Catharines Public Library is an affiliated library with FamilySearch.org which means some images for records might be locked as it is actually on another website which is a paid website. But since the St. Catharines Public Library is affiliated library you can view those records at the library using one of the computers with their IP addresses and save the image of the record to a flash drive.

I currently don't have a paid membership for Ancestry.com as I am trying to save money with genealogy. I have been doing lots of research at the St. Catharines Public Library using the Ancestry Library Edition at the library so I can still search on Ancestry and you can be sent the records home thru email. I have also been using FamilySearch.org a lot to do searches about my ancestors as it is free to use.
Another reason I currently not paying for Ancestry.com is I am trying to organize all my research in Family Tree Maker 2017. A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog about creating a task list in Family Tree Maker 2017. And I mention that in the personal notes I am created a timeline of the person's life, and the research notes I am adding notes to help with my research. And I would like to work on this before I go back to having a paid Ancestry.com membership.
On Thursday, April 11, 2019, I will be taking a class a the St. Catharines Public Library on FamilySearch.org from 2:00pm - 4:00pm it is a free class but if you want the handouts you need to pay $2.00. In this class, you learn how to piece together your ancestor’s history by learning how to search Historical Records, Genealogies, Memories, and Family Tree in FamilySearch.org, the world’s largest free genealogy website. Pre-registration is required.
