In the list above, I tried to identify many of the collections as newly added by comparing them to last months listing. When FamilySearch sends their email notifications to interested parties, they are identifying whether they are new or previously existing collections - they don't say which collections are added to the list for the first time..

There are 99 items on the list above, but 93 newly added databases since 1 September, so I have missed six. Oh well! I will update the list as I receive information about the new databases.

All FamilySearch Historical Record Collections can be accessed at https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list. You can see the date that collections were recently added or updated by clicking on the "Last Updated" link.

On your list, i didnt see the US Virgin islands collection. FamilySearch added Anglican church records from St Croix. The records run from 1765 to 2009. They cover two churches, St Pauls in Frederiksted and St Johns in Christiansted.

I discuss the new records in my blog 200 Years in Paradise href="http://200inparadise.blogspot.com
