Happy 2010 to Everyone! May your
wishes come true.
Registrations & Updates
During 2009, ISRR received
4,073 pieces of mail,
3,071 new registrations, and 1,176 updates. At years end, there were a total of 220,978
active registrations indexed in our database, 3,534,662 visits to
our website, requests for 54,303 registration forms and 4,451
updates. We handled 668 registrant
matches. Though the majority of registrants were born in
the United States, last year there were also registrations from
births that took place in Austria, Canada, Chile, El Salvador,
England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Honduras, India, Japan, Korea,
Mexico, Philippines, Portugal, and Romania. Also, 2,815 registrant
matches that occurred between 1999 and 2003 were digitized before
shredding. This is nearly the last of the old file preservation.
New Registrations
All
holidays seem to reflect an increase in registration here at ISRR.
This usually results in more matches as well. All
mail arriving before 03-03-10 has been processed and all matches
opened with
the status listed below. We update this every week to make it easy
for registrants to check if there is a new match for them. If you do
not see yours below, it means there is not a match at this time, but
remember we get hundreds of new registrations each week and yours
remains open and active unless you notify us otherwise.

We
are going through our entire registry to update files and in the
process will be listing here the place and date of birth on
registrants we are trying to contact.
MISSING REGISTRANTS: These
cases are matches or probable matches, but
the registrants need to update their files with ISRR. We
attempt to contact all, but
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are out-of-date.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
place & date of birth
on your case listed here, please download a new
registration form or
update form, fill
it out as completely as possible, and mail it in to us.
Especially if you have already been reunited,
we'd like to close the file. We cannot
answer questions about any of these over the phone without first
receiving a signed update.
