Use this record to find the genealogy of many Jews from the Caribbean nations. The great advantage of the Knowles Collection is that it links together into family groups, thousands of individual Jews (over 4,500 for this database as of&nbsp;February 2011). Until now, these records were available only at the Family History Library or through private archives or individuals.
