Update to The Knowles Collection - 75000 and counting


Because of the support of many, The Knowles Collection- The Jews of the British Isles continues to grow. Today the collection was updated and now holds the records of over 75000 people, an increase of almost 25% since November. The additional names come from different sources, but also include a number a family trees submit by people worldwide. The number of sources has also increased to 149 independant sources.
The collection can be accessed at http://www.familysearch.org/ at the Jewish records page. It can also be searched by going to the familysearch community trees page at histfam.familysearch.org/index.php. Individual family trees and any corrections can be sent to W. Todd Knowles at knowleswt@ldschurch.org.
