A growing Jewish genealogy database announced that it has reached 1 million entries.
The Knowles Collection, which globally links generations of Jewish families, launched about seven years ago and is searchable for free online at FamilySearch.org/family-trees. The database has been growing by about 10,000 names per month, with contributions of records from more than 80 countries.
Though the collection, researchers “have the chance to compare their Jewish family histories against the collections of FamilySearch, giving families more opportunities to expand, preserve, and share them,” said Todd Knowles, a Jewish genealogy specialist who founded the database.
“So many of our ancestors left their native lands for new homes. The [entries from the] diaspora (Jewish communities outside Israel) are now in six different searchable databases in the Knowles Collection. These collections show how universal our families are,” Knowles said in a statement.

this site is the Mormons
Beware that this is from the Mormon Church. They do many good things with Genealogy but they are also known for posthumously “baptizing” Jewish people who are in their database. Search sites like jewishgen.org or geni first.
Perhaps this has connection to the Mormons and if it does, is it allowed?
please be aware-this is a site from the mormon church- who then “convert” the dead-
Waryjew And exactly what does that do?
