There is a "genealogist" (yes, I know I mispelled it in the title)
in Sterling, Pa. named Beatrice Bayley, Inc. that is advertising
the '(your name here) Family Heritage Book' as an 'almost' complete
American history of the subject family. Having been forewarned by
something similar that I saw on the net some months back (thank you
net users!), I called the Better Business Bureau for Sterling, Pa
( 717-342-9129 ) when my retired (as in fixed income) parents suggested
that they might actually buy this book. I guess the BBB can't come
right out and call a company crooked, but they dropped enough "hints"
to convince me. There have been numerous people taken in by this
very misleading ad by Beatrice Bayley that have reported it to the
Bureau. I imagine there are a lot more that never reported it. If
you don't mind wasting $30.00 on useless items, stop reading here.
If you don't have money to waste, then
DON'T BUY BEATRICE BAYLEY, INC. BOOKS!!!
