Use this record to find the genealogy of many Jews of the Americas. This database deals with the Jewish people who appear in the records of North America, and Canada. The great advantage of the Knowles Collection is that it links together into family groups, thousands of individual Jews (over 390,000 in this database as of April 2014). Until now, these records were available only as individual sources available either through The Family History Library or through archives and individuals from throughout the world.
