Genealogical Foundation. The address given was in Southall. I could not find any reference to this organisation on the internet.
Does any member know any details of these publishers and the quality of their research?

Personally I would guess this an other of the book/surname scams. Although I stand to be corrected.

The William Pince scam is from the same address in Southall that is being investigated by Trading Standards from all over the country. A Google search for '9 Trident Way' is most interesting!

I received it, as well. It just didn't look right and I filed it away, in the bin.

Thankn you for your replies. Never the less, I think I will order William Pince's Chronicle as he also promises me 'a magnificent coat of arms'. I know, by the research I have done, that we peasants do not have a Coat of Arms. It is amazing how these fellows keep going in spite of the court cases against them. Thank you again. Couperan

thanks to the internet and this web site i will not be parting with any money. i looked up william pince publishers on google and the first click was onto this website and i really dont think my family name would have a coat-of-arms considering we came from a line of gypsies less than a hundred years ago,which might i add i am proud of.
