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.
