New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - November 30 to December 6, 2014

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  As of 6 December, there were 1,856 record collections on FamilySearch (up 3 from last week).


Here are the 10 new or updated collections for the week of 30 November to 6 December 2014:

*  Brazil, São Paulo, Immigration Cards, 1902-1980; 393,213 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 06 Dec 2014

*  Peru, Cusco, Civil Registration, 1889-1997; 240,154 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 05 Dec 2014

*  District of Columbia Deaths, 1874-1959; 437,136 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 05 Dec 2014

*  Nebraska, State Census, 1885; 747,367 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 05 Dec 2014

*  Minnesota, Grand Army of the Republic Membership Records, 1869-1940; 164,338 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 05 Dec 2014

*  Puerto Rico, Catholic Church Records, 1645-1969; Browse Images only, added or updated 04 Dec 2014

*  Barbados, Church Records, 1637-1887; 307,081 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 04 Dec 2014

*  North Dakota, Census, 1915; Browse Images only, added or updated 03 Dec 2014

*  Oklahoma, County Marriages, 1890-1995; 1,013,769 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 03 Dec 2014


*  Hawaii, Obituaries Index, ca. 1980-present; 41,650 indexed records and digital images, added or updated 01 Dec 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.
