New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - November 15 to 21, 2015

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 2015, there were 2,049 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):


The new or updated collections are:


*  Colombia, Catholic Church Records, 1576-2014; 55,554 indexed records, with record images, added or updated 21 Nov 2015

*  North Carolina Estate Files, 1663-1979; 233,721 indexed records, with record images, added or updated 20 Nov 2015

*  Portugal, Setúbal, Catholic Church Records, 1555-1911; Browse Images only, no record index, added or updated 20 Nov 2015

*  Wisconsin, Crew Lists of Vessels Arriving at Manitowoc, 1925-1956; 4,231 indexed records, with record images, added or updated 17 Nov 2015

*  Guam, Passenger and Crew Lists, 1947-1952; 8,127 indexed records, with record images, added or updated 16 Nov 2015


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 dates for major updates also.
