What is Going On at ISRR
For the month of May 2008. Updated May 31,
2008
Imaging Project
Since 2003, we have spent the majority of our time preparing,
scanning and indexing every single registration ever received at
ISRR. This was a massive project and would not have been possible
without the many thousands of hours given by the volunteers and
staff. It is now finished. All registrations are now protected
forever, and checking for matches more concise and efficient. Many
thanks to the dedicated people who gave so much of their precious
time to this project, and to all the donors that made this possible.
New Registrations & Updates
On average ISRR receives somewhere between 100 and 300 new
registrations each week. Processed to date this month are:
Registrations & Updates ~ 636
International ~ Canada, England, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Scotland, Spain,
Taiwan.
Matches
The following cases are
being worked on. Two updates have generated matches
because the registrant got more information. See "Get More Info"

WAITING MORE INFO: Cases
opened and reviewed as possible matches where we've requested
additional information from one or both of the registrants. MI 1949,
WA 1948, WA 1967.
PENDING 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all but often the addresses and phone numbers are out-of-date.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
If you think your address
or phone number may be out-of-date with ISRR, please click on
UPDATE , download the form, fill
it out, sign it and mail to ISRR. We spend more time trying to
locate registrants who have not kept their contact information
current than on any other aspect. We never want to miss being able
to put family together because an address is old.
Get More Info ~
A few months ago we had a match for twins. One thought she might have a
twin, the other had no knowledge of having a twin. Neither had
acquired non-identifying information from the state or agency. 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.
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.
