Added and Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - Week of 24 to 30 January 2026

 Each week, I try to keep track of the number of Full-Text Search collections (indexed, searchable) and the Images collections (browsable but not searchable) -- see Sections 1) and 2) below. In addition, I list the genealogy historical record collections (often name-indexed) that are added, removed, and/or updated on FamilySearch and listed on the Historical Record Collection list  --  See Section 3.

1)  As of 30 January 2026, there are now 6,633 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase o9 from last week. There are over 2.403 BILLION "results" in the collections.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.  

2)  As of 30 January 2026, there are now 24,532 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 11 from last week. There are over 5.894 BILLION images in these collections.  There are 2,101 collections from the United States, 6,943 from Europe and 221 from Canada.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.  



3)  As of 30 January 2026, there are 3,432 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week) on the Signed In screen (and 3,432 on the Signed Out screen).

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

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 
  • 106 updated entries
  • 17 entries with more or fewer images 
  • 9 entries with more or fewer records
