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

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 5 ADDED collections in the list above, and 1 removed, for a total of 4 added.  The FamilySearch web page shows 4 added since last week's post.

  1. For the last two or three FamilySearch updates, the results of your friend's crawl for the current week's changes seems to also include older changes from previous weeks. Is that intentional?
