My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, provides this list to me from a program he wrote that compares the current FamlySearch record collections list to the previous week'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 one 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.

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  
  
The descendants of John Young of Plymouth and Eastham was treated in a Mayflower Descendant periodical article by Andrew P. Langlois in the Summer 2005 issue[1].  

John Young was born 16 November 1649, probably in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the son of John and Abigail (Howland) Young[1-3].  

He married Ruth Cole (1651-ca 1728) in about 1669 in Eastham, Massachusetts[1,6].  Ruth was the daughter of Daniel and Ruth (--?--) Cole of Eastham.  They had eight children, two of whom were recorded in the Eastham town records:

*  Mercy Young (1671-1753), married 1697 Micajah Snow (1669-1753).
*  Jonathan Young (1675-1755), married 1711 Deborah Newcomb (1687-1766).
*  Benjamin Young (1677-1734), married 1700 Sarah Snow (1677-1742).
*  Israel Young (1683-1760), married 1708 Katherine Frost (1679-1764).
*  Ruth Young (1688-1768), married 1708 Samuel Brown (1686-1749).
*  Barnabas Young (1690-1772), married (1) Rebecca Young (1694-1753), and (2) 1754 Anne Snow (1703-1767).
*  Jane Young (1692-1746), married 1710 Isaac Pierce (1687-1747).
*  Abigail Young (1694-1781), married 1716 John Treat (1693-1762).

John Young's father, John Young, wrote his will on 19 January 1688/9 and it was proved on 21 April 1691[4].  In the will, the father John Young gave 5 acres of upland lying near the south side of Young's Cove.  

John's mother, Abigail (Howland) Young died 7 April 1692, and in her probate papers it appears she gave her real and personal property to her son Robert Young, with John Young, Joseph Young and Henry Young agreeing to the request[5].

Ruth (Cole) Young's father, Daniel Cole, died intestate on 20 December 1694 in Eastham, and left an estate that was divided by an agreement of the heirs dated 15 January 1694/5[6].  The homestead and the rest of the real property was granted to son Thomas Cole, and Ruth Cole received 12 pounds, 19 shillings as her remainder portion, having received property in her father's lifetime.  John and Ruth Young signed this agreement.

John Young died intestate before 23 April 1718 at age 68, when administration on his estate was granted by the Barnstable County Probate Court to his widow, Ruth Young and his son Jonathan Young[7].

The probate documents for John Young are in the Barnstable County Probate Court records.  They include:
