Growth Brings Change

Thanks to the incredible support from people throughout the world, The Knowles Collection has grown too large for it's current format. Last updated in May of this year to include the records of about 240,000 Jewish people, the collection will be updated sometime in the next month. The new update will bring the collection to almost 320,000 names, or a 33% growth in 4 months.
The growth, has come from many sources, most notably cemetery records and donations of family records. While these have been from all parts of the world, the database most effected is the Jews of the Americas, which has grown very quickly. The growth of the Jews of The Americas database will continue to experience a lot of growth, as we have received a large number of records from places such as Brazil.
In order to handle all this growth, some of the Knowles Collection databases are being changed. With this update, we are splitting the Jews of the Americas database. The databases will now be;

1. 
   
   
   Jews of North America


2. 
   
   
   Jews of South America and the Caribbean


3. 
   
   
   Jews of Europe


4. 
   
   
   Jews of British Isles


5. 
   
   
   Jews of Africa and the Orient

It is only because of the help of so many that this is possible. I am very grateful to all for this support.
