The complete Ancestry.com Card Catalog is at https://search.ancestry.com/search/CardCatalog.aspx.  

By my count, there are NEW record collections ADDED this past week, per the list above.  There are now 33,877 collections available as of 30 January 2026DECREASE of 44 from last week.   It appears Ancestry removed 46 existing record collections this past week. 

I was curious if Ancestry changes the number of entries in the Public and Private Member Trees.  Here is a benchmark for 30 January 2026:
  • Public Member Trees -- 15,788,170,592 entries
  • Private Member Trees -- 6,436,697,197 entries
