Excerpt from RootsWeb Review:

COLORADO SUES GENEALOGY COMPANY. "The suit, filed in Arapahoe County
District Court against Maxwell MacMaster and his company, Morphcorp
LLC,
seeks to cease the operation and penalize him up to $2,000 per book
sold, which could amount to $300 million," according to the Denver
Post.

The suit claims 150,000 people nationwide were swindled out of $49.95
each when they bought a book with fake family histories from Morphcorp
of Denver. People who bought these genealogical "yearbooks" got the
same
family coat of arms, the same family recipes and even the same family
jokes, according to a lawsuit, which was filed in late November.

Consumers with complaints regarding Morphcorp or the "Family Yearbook"
may call the Colorado Consumer Line toll-free 1-800-222-4444 (in
Colorado) or 1-800-332-2071 (out of state) or may download a complaint
