-Use this record to find the genealogy of many Jews from the British Isles. The great advantage of the Knowles Collection is that it links together into family groups, thousands of individual Jews (over 75000 as of&nbsp;Jan 2010). Until now, these records were available only at the Family History Library through a complex indexing system devised by the late Isobel Mordy whose collection forms the basis of the Knowles Collection.
+The Knowles Collection is five databases that include records of the Jewish people. The five databases are; Jews of The British Isles, Jews of The Americas, Jews of Europe, Jews of The Caribbean and The Jews of Africa and the Orient. The great advantage of the Knowles Collection is that it links together into family groups, thousands of individual Jews (over 115,000 as of&nbsp;July 2010). Until now, these records were available only at the Family History Library, or from private archives or individuals. Updates about the collection, and helpful clues for research can be found at knowlescollection.blogspot.com.
