Abstract
By 2000 there were only 10 established Galactic pulsar-supernova remnant associations. Two years later there are 16 such associations known. I discuss the work leading to this substantial increase. In particular I summarize an ongoing search project that has resulted in the detection of several young pulsars with a very low radio luminosity of about 1 mJy kpc^2 at 1.4 GHz, and comment on future prospects.
