Kathy & Butch &Others: I have a copy of "The World Book of Hearls" which my son paid $29.95 for and gave to me "To help in my resarch"!! I have been bombarded with letters about his "wonderful" book for years and had never bought it because the publishers didn't even know that the spelling of my name has changed three time in the past 150 years..That was my first clue that it was probably a scam..The family records contained in it are nothing more than names and addresses taken form phone books and other public sources. Don't waste your money on The World book of..... It's less than Useless. G. L. Hearl...
