New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - November 9-15, 2014


I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  As of 15 November, there were 1,850 record collections on FamilySearch (up 4 from last week).


Here are the 14 new or updated collections for the week of 9 November to 15 November 2014:

*  Utah, Utah County Records, 1850-1962; Browse Images only, added or updated 14 Nov 2014
*  Isle of Man Parish Registers, 1598-2009; 424,389 indexed records and images, added or updated 14 Nov 2014
*  Ohio, Hamilton County Records, 1791-1994; Browse Images only, added or updated 11 Nov 2014
*  Ohio, Washington County Court Records, 1810-1930; Browse Images only, added or updated 14 Nov 2014

*  Florida, Key West Passenger Lists, 1898-1945; 215,948 indexed records and images, added or updated 14 Nov 2014
*  United States, GenealogyBank Obituaries, 1980-2014; 529,788 indexed records and images, added or updated 13 Nov 2014

*  Ohio, Geauga County Records, 1860-1970; Browse Images only, added or updated 12 Nov 2014
*  Ohio, Grace Episcopal Church Records, 1880-1980; Browse Images only, added or updated 12 Nov 2014
*  Ohio, Soldier Home Records, 1888-1919; Browse Images only, added or updated 12 Nov 2014
*  Albania, Census, 1930; Browse Images only, added or updated 12 Nov 2014

*  Czech Republic, Censuses, 1800-1945; Browse Images only, added or updated 11 Nov 2014
*  Iowa, Polk County Probate Records, 1914-1924; Browse Images only, added or updated 10 Nov 2014

Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell which collections are brand new and which ones are updated.  The asterisk they use is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.

In order to select a specific collection, go to 
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the major updates also.

Thanks for keeping us posted Randy. I completely agree that they should indicate which are NEW records and which are updated and give us dates for both.
