The last information I had on Beatrice Bayley was that she is a fraud.
The list is essentially a compilation of names from phone books which
you could then call to do your own genealogical research, which is not
particularly useful for most folks.  She may since have added some other
information to her lists.  According to Action! (a local paper's consumer
gripe column, some time last year, a woman in the Beaverton area sent for
the book, and was stiffed for excessive postage and handling costs when
she returned the book.  Ms Bailey seems to feel that she is providing a
real service, but it is not useful to most people, especially those who
don't want to waste time calling long-distance cross country.

The above information is true to the best of my knowledge and may have
been rendered obsolete if Ms Bayley has decided to do further research
on each name she sells.

(Yes, I have gotten a similar advertisement, and did NOT respond)
