In the list above, I was able to identify many of the collections as newly added or a previously existing updated collection. When FamilySearch sends their email notifications to interested parties, they are identifying whether they are new or previously existing collections.

There are 69 items on the list above, but only 28 were newly added databases since 1 May. I will update the list as I receive information about the new databases.
