New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - February 28 to March 5, 2016

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

As of 6 March 2016, there were 2,075 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 4 from last week):



The new or updated collections are:

*  New Jersey, State Census, 1855; Browse Images only, no indexed records, ADDED 04 Mar 2016

*  New Jersey, State Census, 1865; Browse Images only, no indexed records, ADDED 04 Mar 2016

*  Illinois, County Marriages, 1810-1934; 1,712,426 indexed records without record images, Updated 04 Mar 2016

*  Illinois, Church Marriages, 1805-1985; 9,190 indexed records without record images, ADDED 03 Mar 2016

*  Illinois, Civil Marriages, 1833-1889; 8,975 indexed records without record images, ADDED  03 Mar 2016

*  Maryland, Church Records, 1668-1995; 137,984 indexed records without record images, Updated 02 Mar 2016

*  Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1942; 3,567 indexed records without record images, Updated 01 Mar 2016

*  BillionGraves Index; 18,780,222 indexed records with record images, Updated 29 Feb 2016

*  New York, Ogdensburg Passenger and Crew Lists, 1948-1972; 5,075 indexed records with record images, Updated 29 Feb 2016

The asterisk used by FamilySearch is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.  FamilySearch does provide a listing of which collections are new or updated several days after my post.
 
My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED or UPDATED, in addition to which collections were removed.  My thanks to Marshall for helping me out here! 

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.
