I also got this notice and told them to go ahead and send the
goblet.  (I'm a sucker for these free giveaways!)  The goblet
is lead crystal and comes with a certificate saying that the crest
is *a* Czajka family crest (not neccessarily my line).  The crest
is a horseshoe with an iron cross in the center.  Since Czajka
has something to do with a bird (in Polish), the horseshoe sur-
prised me.  I'm sure they didn't research my family line but I
didn't expect that anyway!  They sent a catalog of different glasses,
bells, tankards, pitchers, etc.  that you can get with the crest
and a card saying "Please Cancel" to send back.  I didn't have any
problems canceling.  So if you'd just like some nice glasses with
your name and a crest on them (who's going to know if it's real or
not?), it's probably worth it.  If you're really interested in
tracing your family - I wouldn't put a lot of confidence in the 
authenticity of the crest being your family's.
