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).
