Hi, My aunt bought a book like you are talking about and it is in my opinion a joke. It is a listing of the surname, with all of the people that have a telephone in the US. Nothing in the books says that you are related to one another. It is like buying a fancy phone directory. You still have to get out there and research the names that you find in the book. Someone else may have a different feeling. Best wishes, Gerrie Jones Dickens
