Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Best or Important Image or Document Recently Found Online

   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)  What is the best or important image or document that you have recently found online? [Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting topics!]

2)  Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.

Here's mine:

I will assume that "recently" means in the past month or so.  

The only recent document or image I can think of is the article "The English Ancestry of Roger1 Willis of Dorchester and Sudbury, Massachusetts, and His Sister Mary Willis, Wife of William1  Peacock of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and of Samuel Shears of Dedham and Wrentham, Massachusetts" by Randy A. West.

This article is in Volume 176, number 2 (Spring 2022), page 179 of the New England Historical and  Genealogical Register.  It extends my Willis English ancestry back two more generations from 8th great-grandfather Roger Willis (1635-1700).

Once in awhile NEHGR or TAG (The American Genealogist) covers one of my ancestors in excellent detail based on original sources.  This is usually research that I cannot perform at this point in my life.  I download the article, peruse it, check some of the source citations if I can find them online, and add the new information to my RootsMagic family tree database.  In this case, this article extended my Willis line two more generations back from Roger Willis (1635-1700).  I subscribe to AmericanAncestors.org for that reason.

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

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.
