Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Enticing name, but very disappointing! Comment: It's got my name on the cover, and the graphics are nicely laid out, but there is little of substance in this book. The name-specific information is little more than largely uninteresting statistical data drawn from immigration and military records, wedged in between (again, largely uninteresting) generic immigration filler. I can't say I learned much about my ancestry. A little actual narrative would be too much to expect. I was hoping at least for something nicely bound for the coffee table, but it's a pathetically thin 96 pages - more of a pamphlet, really. My intention was to buy a copy and if I liked it, buy six more to give as Christmas presents to my siblings. But I'll spend the money on something else, and I recommend that you do, too. More Reviews
