FamilySearch.org - Found Family of Jules Hormidas Dagenais in 1911 Canada Census

Through doing searches on my family tree on FamilySearch.org I found my great-grandfather (Jules Hormidas Dagenais) in the 1911 Canada Census, which I knew the record was corrected as I have previously found this on my family tree on Ancestry.com So I added the record as a source on my family tree on FamilySearch.org 

On FamilySearch.org you only get an index of the information that is on the census record. You can't view the image of the record like you can on Ancestry.com

Family Tree On MyHeritage.com and FamilySearch.org

I have recently added a GEDCOM of my family tree on MyHeritage.com and FamilySerarch.org, I did this so I can search records and other online trees that might not be on Ancestry.com

This will help me find more records for my family tree and it will also help me contact with more distant relatives. As well as learn more about my family history.
