Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 26 March to 1 April 2017

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

As of 2 April 2017, there were 2,212 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of  7  from last week):

Note that there was an increase in the record collection count, but no collection was identified as ADDED.  Some record collections had no additions in records or images, yet were included in the list.  

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.
