Registrar's Report
For the week ending February 1, 2008. Updated
02-29-2008.
Have a Wonderful 2008
May each of you have a safe, healthy, happy and productive new year.
And may you be reunited with the family you seek.
Patterns
This week we saw a preponderance of registrations from New York and
Florida. But the most interesting thing is how many registrations
came from births in the 1940's. We are never sure why this occurs,
but it is always interesting. Wonderfully, there are four matches
for those new registrants.
Last month we saw the pattern of many twins registering. You can read
about that if you like by clicking
here.

OPEN CASE FILES: There
are currently 2 additional open cases awaiting conclusion -- NE
1969, NJ 1944.
POSSIBLE MATCHES:
These cases are matches or possible matches, but the registrants
need to update their files with ISRR. We are attempting to contact
all but often the addresses and phone numbers are out-of-date. In
some cases, they need to get their non-identifying or other
information. If you see the date of birth on your case listed here,
please download a new
registration form or
update form, fill
it out and mail it in to us. We cannot answer questions about any of
these over the phone without first receiving a signed update.

Missing Registrants
Since Spring of 2007 we revisited 54 older and unresolved matches, where one or more
of the registrants did not keep their contact information current
with ISRR. Most of those have been concluded. However, the following
need more information from one or both of the registrants - to
determine if it is indeed a match. Often only a current address or
phone number is required to put the parties together.

If you think your address

UPDATE , download the form, fill
it out, sign it and mail to ISRR. Until the Imaging Project is
finished, our staff will not be able to take updates or changes over
the phone, by fax or email. We are sorry for this inconvenience, however,
ask you to understand that we are working just as fast and hard as
possible ... there is only so much of us to go around!
Hope ~
Towards the end of 2007 we received a registration from an adoptee born
in 1928. Her birthmother had registered with us in 1986. There is always hope and
usually ways to acquire more data on your family. We want to
encourage you to click on "Get
More Info" for guidelines to assist you in acquiring additional
information. So often, one more piece can complete the puzzle or
help us determine relationship. Gather as much information as you
can and please remember to send us updates.
Imaging Project. This project continues. California was
completed near the end of 2007. There is now only one state left to prep, scan
and index. We left New York until last because there were going to
be differences in the preparation process and some programming
changes were needed to allow for the boroughs. It won't be long
before the entire Registry will be in the new digitized system. For more
information click here to see archives of the Registrar's Report.
Imaging
Please always remember that you are not alone. We receive
many thousands of new registrations each year and do matches nearly
every single day. There are search and support resources all over
the world, and hundreds of thousands who have gone before you in a
quest for family.
We work hard to keep this
registry free to registrants and are grateful for your generous
contributions which allows this service to continue uninterrupted since
1975.
