Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 2 to 8 April 2017

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

As of 9 April 2017, there were 2,212 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of  0  from last week):


The added or updated collections are (as Marshall provided them):

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.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

Note that FamilySearch REMOVED all of the images from the British Columbia Death Index collection.  They removed 2 records from the Nicaragua civil Registration collection.  

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.
