From: luria@UCBKIM (Marc Luria) Received: from UCBKIM.ARPA by UCBVAX.ARPA (3.331/3.17) id AA12739; 20 Mar 83 14:03:02 PST (Sun) To: netgeneral@BERKELEY Cc: luria@UCBKIM I recently received a letter from Beatrice Bayley saying that the Luria Family Heritage Book is being published on Mar. 30. She claims that the Luria name is rare, about one family for every quarter million Americans, which would seem to indicate that the book will have about 800 listings. The catch is that the book costs $27.85 and though guaranteed for 10 days, it could be a big hoax. Has anyone had any experience with this company for different names? Is a list of this nature useful for later geneaology work if I choose to do so in the future? Thank you, Marc Luria (luria@Berkeley).
