--- Collections Updated ---

Wait, there are over 2,000 more updated collections.  That's more than 50% of all the collections.  

Blogger wouldn't let me copy and paste them all, and I tried to do it in blocks but it still took too long.  

The important ones are the collections deleted and added - they are listed above.

Perhaps the list will return to the "normal" 100 or so updated collections next week.

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

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 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.
