My prayers were answered!

Thanks to my friends and family and their prayers, my breast biopsy results were negative! It has been a tough few weeks of testing and worrying, especially this past week, but Friday, yesterday I got the good news. So I'm good for now and maybe for good, time will tell. I plan to have the BRAC analysis to find out if I carry the genes, since breast cancer runs in my maternal line. Hope things are the same for all of you too if you are ever in the same situation. :)

New Records online at FamilySearch.org

Wonderful news! I just got this info from my Legacy newsletter:

New records online for Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, United States

from FamilySearch.org: 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.
