Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- How Many Find A Grave Entries?

  It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1)  How many entries are there on Find A Grave for your exact current surname, and the birth surnames of your grandparents?  What about your spouse's grandparents birth surnames?

2)  Write about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, in a status or comment on Facebook, or in Google Plus Stream post.

Here's mine:

I used the Find A Grave search engine.  It only shows exact matches.  There are 20 names per page (and probably a 10,000 limit, and there may be name variations, or include the search surname within another surname).

*  Seaver:  5,581 names.

*  Richmond:  34,347 names

*  Carringer: 550 names

*  Auble:  802 names

*  Leland:  6,093 names

*  Brocke:  7,442 names

*  Schaffner:  3,846 names

*  McKnew:  154 names

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

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

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.

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.
