He knows nothing about the Arbuthnot family. This is a scam. Do not buy it. We believe SGN Genealogical Foundation and William Pince Publishers are no more than trading names. There is no William Pince. The booklet contains no genealogy, a third of it (25 pages) purports to be genealogical index (index to what?) and the balance of the booklet seems to be general blurb dealing with the origin of surnames in general and a bit about the history of heraldry. This is a re-run of “The World Book of Arbuthnots”, etc. For an additional 17.95 you can have a “personal family tree” – meaning a blank that you can fill in, such as is easily obtained from many sites on the web. Oh, boy!
