John L.,
Good Ops! It is a scam!
This is similar to the old printed books based on surname lists a decade or
so ago. It is a general BS on different surnames from Family News. They
use different mail drop addresses for different surnames.
Their CD worries me because they may be ripping off other people’s
genealogy. "Trees, Trees, and more trees" Cd (depicted below) at no cost and
while supplies last ...” But, I am not willing to waste money to find out.
I am going to pass this on to the Carpenter Roots web members. Researchers
need to be aware this BS is going on again.
See the links below for more details.

Their main web page is at:
http://www.familynewsabout.com/
They also have a ad page to give a legitimate look. But it is a rip off
from other pages.
http://www.ourfamilyyearbook.com/
And the BBB has a note or two about them.

In addition, they are backed or part of “Morphcorp Llc.” And in 2006 they
had legal judgments against them.

And they are noted on Wikipedia as genealogical scammers

And they and their ilk have been around for some time.

Our anchor publication about Carpenter Family History and genealogy is The
International Carpenter Family Yearbook.
Published since 1992, the Yearbook is updated constantly as new information
becomes available for the Family.
The International Carpenter Family Yearbook is divided into two sections.
The first section is topical, containing general information of interest to
a family historian. The second section contains Carpenter data.
In that section we publish the latest news in Carpenter births, deaths,
censuses, marriages, etc. This section is very popular with our readers.

Six Jillion CarpenterAncestors?
4,398,046,511,104 TONS OF ANCESTORS
This whole thing got started, as I was looking at an ad for one of those 9
generation Ancestry Charts. A nine-generation chart has 256 great, great,
great, great, great grandparents out there - all of which are absolute key
players in one's existence. If one of those 128 Great (6) Grandpas didn't go
for the twinkle in one of those Great (6) Grandmas' eyes - ! I wink out of
existence.
These 256 individuals were all living here in the U.S. and Europe around
1808 (20 years per gen eration). Their grandparents had seen indepen dence
in 1776. Their grandchildren would live through the CivilWar. I only know
the name of 2 of my 256 ancestors nine generations ago, yet they were all
absolute key players!
It was at this point that I started playing with the computer. Hmm, in 1492
"when Columbus sailed the ocean blue" there were 33,554,432 family members
(well, let's just call them key ancestors.) In 1066, William the Conqueror
was "doing in" the British Isles and there were 70,368,744,177,664 family
ancestors. Hmm, something is wrong here. There weren't that many folks on
the earth at that time.
Your 47-generation Ancestry Chart probably would have lots and lots of
duplicate ancestors. Fred and Alice the Conqueror Carpenter might appear
millions of times on the last row of your 47 genera tion chart as their
descendants intermarried.
Do you know that: If you lined up all these an ces tors head to toe
(assuming that they averaged 5 feet in height) that they would make a line
66,630 miles long, weight (at 135 lbs. per Carpenter) would be
4,398,046,511,104 tons!!!
[BIRTH]?
Oh my goodness.!
Mrs Carpenter was kidnapped by a mad scientist who held her in his
laboratory against her will and ...
Well no.
Mrs. Carpenter gave birth to another little Carpenter - which was even more
painful in those days. Two Carpenters making their joyous mark in history.
