Icelandic nation-wide genealogy database - 2007 status update

It is disappointing to hear the printouts are no longer available. I had a dear friend who told me the story of her mother and uncle who were on a fishing expedition with their parents from Iceland about 1890/91. A storm came up and the parents lashed children to the masts of the ship. The parents were washed overboard and the ship was wrecked on the shoals off Gloucester. The teenagers were rescued and went on to lead lives in the US. The names were Margaret Jonsson and I believe the son was John Jonsson. I think one was 14 and the other 17 when the wreck occurred. Do you think you may have them in your database? My friend was an only child and had no children but I think her uncle did go on to have family.
