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

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
  • 1 added entries 
  • 21 updated entries
  • 55 entries with more or fewer images 
  • 8 entries with more or fewer records

The FamilySearch website says there are 3408 total entries on the list (without signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3408 (without signing in).  They are in-sync this week.
