IAJGS 2020

The very successful 2019 IAJGS conference is but a few weeks old and yet its time to begin planning for 2020.

From 9-14 August 2020 the IAJGS conference will return to the west coast, and be held in one of my favorite cities, San Diego, California.

For information will be coming soon and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

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.
