Added and Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - Week of 7 to 13 March 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 13 March 2026, there are now 6,665 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, a decrease of 0 from last week. There are over 1.914 BILLION "results" in the collections.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.  

2)  As of 13 March 2026, there are now 24,597 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 9 from last week. There are over 5.938 BILLION images in these collections.  There are 2,100 collections from the United States, 6,901 from Europe and 221 from Canada.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.  

3)  As of 13 March 2026, there are 3,432 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (a decrease of 1 from last week) on the Signed In screen (and 3,432 on the Signed Out screen).

There were 651 collections Updated this week, but few collections had records and/or images removed or added.

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

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:

• 3,432 Historical Record Collection entries
• 11 removed entries
• 13  added entries 
• 651 updated entries
• 38 entries with more or fewer images 
• 65 entries with more or fewer records

Marshsll's list shows 3,432 Historical Record Collections this week, an increase of 2 collection. The image above shows 3,432 Collections, so the Image number is in sync with Marshall's list number.
