Halbert's, the highly questionable 'genealogical' publishing company out of Bath, OH, has a new one. Using the name 'U.S. Information Bureau' and a Washington, DC, address they are promoting a new 'book' with all the Civil War veterans with YOUR surname. In the past the 'books' have been copies of names from phone books. Since this is not possible in the case of Civil War veterans I'm not sure how they are working it but it likely this is yet another questionable 'book.' Various national genealogical societies are warning their members. A word to the wise...
