Back in the day, anyone dealing with genealogy eventually found themselves ordering microfiche and microfilms from the "Mormon Library" in Salt Lake City. Today, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints provides all of their genealogical records and tools for free at FamilySearch.org.
This presentation focused on new features at FamilySearch, and techniques you can use to help find your Jewish ancestors.
Todd Knowles is an accredited Genealogist who specializes in English and Jewish research. For the past 20 years he has been a member of the staff at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, where he currently serves as a Deputy Chief Genealogical Officer. He is past President of the Utah Jewish Genealogy Society (UJGS).
Todd has lectured all over the world and his articles have been widely published. His own genealogical search began at the age of twelve with the desire to find more about his family. His quest to find more about his G-G-Grandfather, a Polish Jew, has led to the creation of the Knowles Collection, six databases that contain the records of the Jewish people. It currently (as of Jan 2020) contains the records of over 1.4 million people.
