Early on in my genealogy days, I bought two family books from Beatrice  
Bailey. When you buy one for each of your lines, you soon see that not a lot  of 
thought was put into them.
 
However, all was not lost. On my own Umpleby family, I sent letters to  the 
first 20 in North Dakota. I think I got two or three responses, but one  was a 
real cousin. They subsequently came to Oregon to compare genealogy with  mine. 
He sent me a box of photos from his side of the family when I first got  my 
scanner. That one contact was worth the price of both the books.
 
I also ordered a couple of the FAKE Coat of Arms for my father-in-law for  a 
Christmas gift one year. He didn't know the difference. He wasn't interested  
in genealogy and didn't understand why I wanted to know all that stuff anyway. 
 I also don't regret that purchase. It is now hanging on my genealogy wall 
and  is well marked as a fake.
 
So, as long as one buys "with eyes wide open", they are not all bad. But,  
their claims are
truly exaggerated.
