--- Updated Collections ---

There are 1,116 updated collections on the list - too many to list here. 

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

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.


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

NOTE:  The U.S. State Will and Probate collections listed have only one entry in them.  These are probably placeholders for populating each state collection with images and links to them from the digitized microfilms, and will be the vehicle to use Full-Text Search (and transcription!) to the images.
