New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - November 22 to 28, 2015

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  

As of 29 November 2015, there were 2,049 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):


The new or updated collections are:


*  Missouri Deaths, 1883-1930; Browse Images only, no index, Updated 25 Nov 2015

*  Ohio, Trumbull County Records, 1795-2010; Browse Images only, no index, Updated 25 Nov 2015

*  Massachusetts, Revolutionary War, Index Cards to Muster Rolls, 1775-1783; Browse Images only, no index, Updated 25 Nov 2015

*  United States Census, 1910; 93,753,799 indexed records with record images, Updated 25 Nov 2015

*  Australia, New South Wales, Census, 1891; 210,511 indexed records with record images, Updated 23 Nov 2015

*  Switzerland, Bern, Civil Registration, 1792-1876; 30,013 indexed records with record images, Updated 23 Nov 2015

*  Australia, Tasmania, Miscellaneous Records, 1829-1961; 106,224 indexed records with record images, Updated 23 Nov 2015

*  Colombia, Catholic Church Records, 1576-2014; 55,554 indexed records with record images, Updated 23 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.
