The Knowles Collection: Accessing the Knowles Collection

Accessing the Knowles Collection

Over time as the Knowles Collection has continue to grow, it's location at FamilySearch has also changed. This leads to a need to update the steps that need to be taken to access the collection. It only takes a few steps to view the 6 databases. From the main page at FamilySearch.org, select Genealogies.

Once on the Genealogies page, fill in the name you are looking for, just as I have done with the Gluckstein family below. Also, change the collection box to Community Trees, the original location of the Knowles Collection.

At this point select the search button. This will lead you to a results page. By selecting the name you are looking for, you are able to view the pedigree of the individual.

The pedigree view allows you to arrow around the tree. Also, at the right side of the pedigree the sources can be viewed. By clicking the name at the top, all sources can be viewed.

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.
