For those who may not be familiar with the company that some of us know as Halbert, please read the below for your own protection. Many people have spent good money on their "junk" genealogy materials only to be *very* upset by what they receive. The lady who sent this to a MO list was 'taken' by them about 15 years ago.

Halbert's of Bath, Ohio, has come up with a new technique. They are now sending their advertisement for Family History Books from a Washington D.C. address. Halbert's is now using the name "US Information Burueau NUMA" (note the spelling of Bureau) 3220 N. St, NW Ste 1400 Washington D.C. (no zip code given) They are advertising a book regarding all the people with your surname in the Civil War. Do not be fooled. This is the same game, different cover.
