I sent this once, but it got bounced. Has anyone had any dealings with this company? They are offering me a book called "The Huckin Family Chronicle." He claims to be a genealogist of some repute. I just wondered if anyone else has had similar mailshots. My brother bought a book called "The Book of Huckin's" by Burke's a few years ago. Badly done with lots of errors. If this company are genuine, it may save me a lot of hassle and aggravation. Trouble is, can I risk £40? He claims to offer a money back guarantee if there are any mistakes. Is that worth the paper it is written on? I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had dealings. Good or Bad, I really don't mind. Ian

Hi Ian, Long time no see! No, don't send these folks your hard earned pennies. There's been a big discussion about this on GoONS of late - it's still going on. The company is based in Holland & has sent this offer to all and sundry - lots of us GoONS have received it. I will fwd you the GoONS correspondence on this subject if you like, all pasted into one email? But my advice would be not to touch them with a bargepole. Best Wishes,.
