Thank you for bringing this up. I believe that if you visit the following URL that should answer your question. http://www.genealogy.org/~ngs/halberts.html Those folks suckered my mother and several of my friends.

It is titled: "The New World Book of Bottoms" Has anyone heard of this book? It is by chance another one of the cleverly concocted schemes by Halbert's of Bath, Ohio to obtain money and provide very little genealogical information? Your responses will be greatly appreciated.
