Added and Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 28 April to 4 May 2019

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 4 May 2019, there were 2,483 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 7 from last week):

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

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

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 keywords (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 note that there are 14 ADDED collections in the list above, and 1 removed, for a total of 10 added.  However, the FamilySearch web page shows only 7 added since last week's post.  It looks like some of the ADDED collections on last week's list are on this week's list.
