I saw this on MyHeritage today – New record collections added in August 2020: https://blog.myheritage.com/2020/09/historical-records-collections-added-in-august-2020/

 

Here is a breakdown of the newly added record collections:

by Talya September 13, 2020 Historical Records

Last month, 19.3 million records across 15 different collections were added from all over the world. The new collections include seven from the U.S.: death indexes from Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Nebraska; birth indexes from Massachusetts and Wisconsin; and a marriage index from Wisconsin. Three new collections from Australia were added: a birth index, a passenger list, and a wills and probate collection. From Canada, a Nova Scotia birth records collection was added. We also added updates to both the Greece Electoral Rolls collection and to the France Death Index. Furthermore, we added an index of displaced persons and refugees from the World War II era and an update to the Israel Genealogy Research Association collection, both completely free. The August collections bring the total number of historical records on MyHeritage to 12.52 billion historical records.
