To all fellow Kemp researchers: Halbert's of Bath, Ohio, are a bunch of hucksters, looking to part you from your hard earned cash. This company has been written about numerous times. It comes as no surprise that they are now preying on the international market, as they have had several injunctions against them by the U.S. Postal Service. In context, your $60.00 US would buy you six years of membership in the Kemp Family Association (or many other family groups), as well as at least one year's membership in most national genealogical societies (I belong to NGS and NEHGS - both less than $60 per year). The Halbert's books in reality are several pages of generic information about the surname - much of it nebulous or false - and a listing of "other Kemp's" in the world, gleaned from the telephone CD's, online groups, etc. I would be happy to share one of the articles about Halbert's with anyone who wishes a copy. Please send me an eMail, and I'll send it back to you as a text file, which can be opened in most any word processing program.
