The Knowles Collection: Slovakia, Church and Synagogue Books, 1592-1910

Slovakia, Church and Synagogue Books, 1592-1910

In May of 2011 I posted a piece on this blog about the Slovakia Church and Synagogue Books being added to the Historical Collections section of www.FamilySearch.org. That post can be found at http://knowlescollection.blogspot.com/search/label/Slovakia .
Today, I can report that the records in that collection have been further updated to now include over 1,000,000 records, of which over 15,000 are digital images. For those with Slovakian ancestry, this is a great addition to FamilySearch. For more information on how to use the collection, visit the earlier post.

Growth and Change

In the 12 years since the Knowles Collection was first published, the numbers have climbed from 7,500 to over 1,4000,000. So many of our ancestors left their native lands for new homes. Because of that movement the collection will now be in 6 different databases. All of them will be under the Knowles Collection umbrella. They are Jews of The British Isles; Jews of the North America; Jews of Europe; Jews of South America and the Caribbean; and Jews of Africa and the Orient and the newest one, Jews of the Southern Pacific.. This is a great indication of how universal our families are, and of how much still needs to be done.
