New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - November 16-22, 2014

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  As of 22 November, there were 1,853 record collections on FamilySearch (up 3 from last week).





Here are the 10 new or updated collections for the week of 16 November to 22 November 2014:

*  Utah, Weber County Marriages, 1887-1938; Browse Images, added or updated 21 Nov 2014

*  Massachusetts, Boston Crew Lists, 1917-1943; 140,843 indexed records with images, added or updated 21 Nov 2014

*  Washington, County Records, 1803-2010; Browse Images, added or updated 20 Nov 2014

*  Michigan Obituaries, 1820-2006; 69,395 indexed records with images, added or updated 19 Nov 2014

*  Idaho, Southern Counties Obituaries, 1943-2013; 67,646 indexed records with images, added or updated 19 Nov 2014

*  Tennessee, White County Records, 1809-1975; Browse Images, added or updated 18 Nov 2014

*  Pennsylvania Obituaries, 1977-2010; 99,894 indexed records with images, added or updated 18 Nov 2014

*  Montana, Lake County Records, 1857-2010; 35,202 indexed records with images, added or updated 18 Nov 2014

*  Montana, Sanders County Records, 1866-2010; 5,416 indexed records with images, added or updated 18 Nov 2014


*  Find A Grave Index; 124,060,301 indexed records with images, added or updated 16 Nov 2014

Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell which collections are brand new and which ones are updated.  The asterisk they use is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.

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 major updates also.
