30 January 2009

Since the last update on January 5, 2009, FamilySearch added over 40 million new records to its
Record Search pilot. Individuals with international roots from Argentina, Canada, Germany, Ireland,
Germany, Netherlands, and the Philippines will find some nice surprises in the newly added collections.

Birth, marriage, and death records were added for the Netherlands and Ireland. Irish researchers in
particular have been anxiously awaiting the 23 million records from the Irish Civil Registration indexes.
These records date from 1845-1958 and are also known as the Statutory Registration Records.
Statutory registration for Protestants began in 1845 and for Catholics in 1864.

Many thanks to the thousands of online FamilySearch Indexing volunteers who helped make these
wonderful records available.
