That's not a complaint. Having brand new records, never before online, or only recently discovered even, may be a little more exciting, but it's also good to have plenty of competition in the market and to have different databases to check. What one database search may not uncover may be revealed in another.
I also sometimes like having the option, which Ancestry provides, of browsing the images rather than having to use the search field option.
Without further ado, here are the collections now available via Ancestry. Figures in parenthesis indicated total number of records.
- Ireland, Wills and Grants of Probate, 1858-1900 (32,858)
- Ireland, Indexes to Wills, Probate Administration, Marriage Bonds and Licences, 1591-1866 (836,216)
- Ireland, Registers of Wills and Administrations, 1828-1885 (15,671)

In addition, a couple of indexes containing recent deaths have been updated, as follows:

- Scotland and Northern Ireland, Death Index, 1989-2020 New records added, plus those for 2020. Total now 752,902.
