Mari:
No offense taken. As I stated in my e-mail, I knew nothing about the
publication. Now I do. And since it cost me nothing it might prove better
than ordering lots of phone books!

Well, I can tell you about this book, and it's publishers....the
are scam
artists. They've been drug to court several times over their dealings.
I can tell you that this is nothing but a glorified phone book. My
husband
ordered one early in my genealogical days. Thought he'd be a
help. The
book listed our son......three times! During the course of the
publication
and gathering of the information, our son had moved that many
times.......and was listed at each address! And, my brother-in-law in
CA? Didn't even have him in it!
You can get the same information from phone and city directories.
Beware of this one! We bit.......and learned too late what it was. These
people have been mentioned in Eastman's Newsletters also. Am sure you
could find the newsletter where it mentions them in the archives for that
Newsletter site.
My apologies, George.......Please don't take this as an affront against
you....as I said.......we bit too.
