============================================

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use a keyword (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords..

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!

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.

I found my 3rd great uncle in the French Saint Denis Census you mentioned. I always read your posts to find new French records on Family Search. This one paid off! I had lost him and his family in the city of Saint-Denis. It looks like the moved close by in the same "departement" but for which the archives are not on line yet. So one more nugget for my research. Thank you! Annick H.
