Added and Updated FamilySearch Historical Record Collections - Week of 28 September to 4 October 2024

 Each week, genealogy record collections are added and updated to FamilySearch and listed on the Historical Record Collection list at https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list.

As of 4 October 2024, there are 3,379 historical record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):


The deleted, new and updated collections this week from FamilySearch are:

--- Collections Added ---

*  Louisiana Second Registration Draft Cards, 1948-1959 (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1921443); 243,676 indexed records with 490,208 record images, ADDED 01-Oct-2024
*  North Carolina, Naturalization Records, 1909-1945 (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/5000235); 2,455 indexed records with 1,986 record images, ADDED 01-Oct-2024
*  Utah, Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, 1847-1868 -- Biographical Sketches (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2378480); 129,168 indexed records with 615 record images, ADDED 03-Oct-2024

--- Collections Updated ---

--- Collections with new images ---
--- Collections with images removed ---
--- Collections with new records ---
=======================================================

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!

Marshall notes that there are:

*  0 removed entries
*  3 added entries 
*  65 updated entries
*  6 entries with more or less images or records

Now the FamilySearch list has the same number of collections as Marshall's list.

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.
