Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 9 to 15 October 2016

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  

As of 16 October 2016, there were 2,155 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):

The added or updated collections are:

*  Florida Marriages, 1830-1993; 1,699,231 indexed records with digital images, Updated 14 Oct 2016

*  Venezuela, Archdiocese of Mérida, Catholic Church Records, 1654-2013; 596,635 indexed records with digital images, Updated 14 Oct 2016

*  Jamaica, Civil Registration, 1880-1999; 3,787,186 indexed records with digital images, Updated 14 Oct 2016

*  Ohio Tax Records, 1800-1850; 1,141,119 indexed records with digital images, Updated 14 Oct 2016

*  New Brunswick, Saint John, Saint John, Burial Permits, 1889-1919; 28,555 indexed records with digital images, Updated 13 Oct 2016

*  Peru, Áncash, Civil Registration, 1888-2005; 73 indexed records with digital images, Updated 12 Oct 2016

*  Nebraska, Box Butte County Marriages, 1887-2015; Browse Images only, no indexed records, ADDED 11 Oct 2016

*  Louisiana, Orleans Parish Vital Records, 1910, 1960; 12,961 indexed records with digital images, Updated 11 Oct 2016

*  England, Warwickshire, Parish Registers, 1535-1984; 1,257,852 indexed records with digital images, Updated 11 Oct 2016

*  Ohio, County Births, 1841-2003; 4,013,089 indexed records with digital images, Updated 11 Oct 2016


One record collection was deleted from the list:

*  Arizona, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1940-1945; 141,121 indexed records with 141,121 record images, Deleted.

Consequently, one collection was added, and one was deleted, resulting in the number of collections staying the same as last week.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here! 

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 dates for major updates also.
