If you google ancestorstuff, there are postings on Ancestry.com messages calling this a scam here's some: Please beware. AncestorStuff.com has been selling CD copies of books (priracy). My cousin, Larry E. Caver, Jr., has published several books, and AncestorStuff.com started advertising CD copies of his book. None of these were legal copies. He had no knowledge what they were doing. I just received a spam from them. I did NOT subscribe to their newsletter. They are harvesting genealogists' email addresses. Note that their email is a negative, not positive, confirmation like legitimate businesses. They send their letter unless you UNsubscribe. I forward this spam - with email headers displayed - to their ISP, currently I just started getting these too. They're definitely spam. If you search a little bit further, you'll find messages going back to at least 2004 which indicate that this is standard modus operandi for this web site. Apparently the owner of the web site believes spam is good business, so anyone who buys from him/her is just going to encourage more spam. I'm not going to unsubscribe (thus confirming my address), since I never subscribed. Instead when each message arrives, I mark it as spam. If everyone using Gmail (or any other spam reporting aggreggration service) does this, pretty soon they won't be able to spam anyone.

Did any one else get one and more importantly has anyone subscribed to their newsletter or does anyone know anything about them??
