I try to visit the Genealogy Databases Posted or Updated Recently page on www.ancestry.com to see what's been added or updated. I recommend doing this at least weekly if you have an Ancestry.com subscription.
Here are several interesting - to me, at least - collections from this list:
1) U.S. World War II Navy Muster Rolls, 1938-1949 -- here is one of the pages for my father, Frederick W. Seaver:
There are four entries, from February 1945 to February 1946, for my father, all saying essentially the same thing.
2) U.S. Navy Cruise Books Index, 1918-2009. Here is an interesting entry for a Clifford N. Seaver:
This article provides Clifford N. Seaver's birth date, birthplace, spouse's maiden name, and parents names, in addition to a summary of his service as of 1966.
3) California, World War I Death Announcements, 1918-1921. A lengthy obituary for Kenneth L. Blanchard appeared in the Oakland Tribune and Berkeley Gazette newspapers, dated 16 February 1919:
Kenneth Blanchard was a first cousin, twice removed. His mother was Elizabeth Seaver, daughter of Isaac and Lucretia (Smith) Seaver, my great-great-grandparents.
4) New South Wales, Australia, Certificates for Publicans' Licences, 1830-1849, 1853-1860. I cannot see the entry for "Alexr Whittle" (because I don't have a World subscription) but I'm real interested in having a copy. I'll have to get it on my next visit to the Family History Center.
There are quite a few other new and updated datases on www.ancestry.com. Go exploring!
