Have you received a letter like this claiming that a new book about the Gindlespergers is soon to be published — and you are supposedly in it?

Well, buyer beware. These books, which are marketed by a company called Halbert's of Bath, OH, are produced for a variety of surnames — and contain exactly the same data EXCEPT that the surnames have been changed!

So don't buy these books for any of your surnames. For more information, check out this web page on genealogy scams: http://www.siscom.net/~rdrun ner/HTML/Scams.html.
