Hi, Just to correct some info...Halbert's (I assume that the company you are referring to) is no longer operating just in OH. I wish I still had a copy of an article that was posted on the Chumbley List a few months back. What I can remember off the top of my head...It was an article from the Durham-Orange Genealogical Society Newsletter that warned about Halbert's changing its name and "moving" to Washington DC. That is where some of their mailings are coming from now. So be careful (Darn! I wish I still had that article! I would be able to give you the exact name the Wash, DC company is going under!).
