I know that she had an aunt in Kansas City and spent some time there so I need to locate the family on the 1910 census and see if possibly she is listed with them.. Unfortunately it is not indexed so it is a long process trying to find the family. I "think" they were in the Argentine area but I am not positive and Kansas city had a ton of people in 1910. You can find a decent article on the orpahange if you do a google search. Mary [email protected]

I realize this message is slightly off-topic, but it is still genealogy related. I received it from another list. [from the Malone-L list:] One of the top stories in 2003 in this newsletter was the arrest of Elias Abodeely, a 23-year-old in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who ran a string of pseudo genealogy sites. His arrest didn't seem to deter him: 2004 has started off with a rash of the same advertising. For those who missed it, let's briefly recap this scam. The sites involved included GenSeeker.com, GenSeekers.com, genealogydevelopments.com, familydiscovery.com, genealogyfinders.net, genlocator.com, genealogy-express.com, and probably many others. Abodeely would send out spam mail from one site, then collect money until the complaints mounted, and his site eventually would be shut down by the hosting service. A week or two later he would appear with a new name and a new site on a different hosting service conducting essentially the same business. To access his sites, the hapless buyer paid $40 to $60 (the exact amount varied from time to time). None of these sites contained any genealogy information; they simply had pointers to free sites where information could be found. In other words, the buyer paid $40 to $60 to access something that was already available free of charge. Abodeely eventually ran into lots of legal difficulties. On August 1, 2003, he was arrested in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on felony charges of first-degree theft, money laundering, and ongoing criminal activity. He was released later that day, and a court appearance on those charges still has not yet been scheduled. You can read about Abodeely's arrest in my newsletter at: http://www.eogn.com/archives/news0331.htm, in the Des Moines register at http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4788998/21905604.html and at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=elias+abodeely+arrested&btnG=Google+Search. His arrest did not slow Abodeely very much. A month later he appeared selling "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks under the name GenealogyTechs.com. That site actually was registered to Andrew Abodeely. I obtained one of these "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks and wrote about it in detail in the September 29, 2003 Plus Edition of this newsletter. GenealogyTechs.com was shut down the day after my article was published. Things have been quiet for the past three months, but on January 2, 2004, a number of newsletter readers reported receiving some fishy-looking spam mail messages. In fact, the messages appear to be word-for-word the same as the old ads for "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks sent earlier from GenealogyTechs.com - except that the new ads are coming from GenealogyTechs.net. That's right: the only difference is the previously shut down dot-COM is now replaced by a newly-registered dot-NET. A quick check of the WHOIS information shows that Genealogytechs.net is registered to the same address as GenealogyTechs.com: 1013 Agate Street, Suite B, San Diego, CA 92109, the business address of Andrew Abodeely. That is also the same address that ships the worthless "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks. In short, the Abodeelys seem to have reappeared after a three-month hiatus. Elias Abodeely's earlier arrest for felonies doesn't seem to have fazed either of the Abodeelys at all. At the time these words are being written, http://www.genealogytechs.net is up and running and looks almost identical to the previously shut down http://www.genealogytechs.com. It is also interesting to note that the new site is like the old one in several respects, especially in that it cannot handle credit cards. Instead, the buyer is suckered into paying by an "e-check" that extracts money directly from the buyer's checking account with no credit card involved. Beware! This is one method by which the earlier sites allegedly extracted money time and again from a buyer's checking accounts! Several buyers thought they paid once but, after examining their end-of-month checking account statements, found that they had been charged time and again without permission. That is one of the actions that led to Elias Abodeely's arrest. Why would a company not offer payment by credit card? That is extremely rare in the online world. The answer is simple: the owner's credit rating is so poor that he cannot obtain the merchant account required to be able to accept credit cards. In this case, he cannot even obtain a PayPal account, which is easy for most people to obtain. No credit card service will give a merchant account to someone awaiting trial on charges of money laundering by using credit cards! Without access to a credit card merchant account, the Web site owner is forced to resort to online checks, a risky method for any buyer considering an online purchase. Remember that purchases made online with VISA, MasterCard or American Express are fully insured against fraud by the credit card companies. If you get "ripped off" by a shady merchant when using a credit card, the credit card companies will immediately refund all of your money and then will pursue resolution with the merchant. PayPal transactions are also fully insured in the same manner. However, if you pay by check, you have no such protection. That is true both for paper checks as well as for "e-checks." You receive only whatever insurance your local bank provides. Sadly, most banks provide no protection at all against fraudulent purchases made with a check or with a debit card. Send a check to a con artist? You lose. Any time you see a Web site offering something for sale and not accepting credit cards, ask yourself, "Why does this merchant not accept credit cards? Not even via PayPal?" Most of the time, it is because that merchant has severe financial problems. Then ask yourself if you really want to do business with such a merchant. If you receive a spam mail from GenealogyTechs.net or any similar-sounding scam, please forward it to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Police Department's Financial Crimes Division at [email protected] I suspect they have an interest in the "business activities" of this person, who is awaiting a court appearance after being arrested by that department. Please feel free to also enclose a copy of this article.

You can order a copy of the newspaper through your local library. It is free and on microfilm. But don't expect too much. Obits were not all that common in those days. I know when my 2 great grandfather died in 1888, and ordered the papers for a couple of weeks aft that. Found nothing. Hope you find what you are looking for!

Seeking help with my Taylor line. Information from my grandfather (who told everybody a different story) is as follows: Grandfather is Herbert John "Jack" Taylor. Born June 24 (SSDI says 1882, 1930 Census says 1886, family says about 1884). He was born in the Salt Creek Area of Leavenworth County. He is the son of James D. (or James Cooke - There is some confusion as to his father's middle name. SSDI says James D.) Taylor and Caroline Clair Leon Taylor. On February 13, 1913 he married Minnie Bellows in Provo, Utah. They had 5 children - Maxwell Grant, Herbert Bellows (my father), Maurine La Juine, Grace Aileen and Marion Leon - all deceased. James Taylor was supposed to have been born in Boston, MA. He was known as an "English Farmer" and apparently ran freight - both US Government and his own - between Leavenworth and Dodge City. James parents are James Cooke Taylor born in England, married Mary Pugh, born in Ireland. They were probably born 1810-1820. Don't know of any siblings or when James & Mary came to this country. Jack's siblings are: James Francis "Frank" Taylor. Frank possibly served in the Boer War in South Africa (not sure whether he served in the British army or was a mercenary with the Boers.), then as Deputy Warden, Central Convict Station, Boksburg, Transvaal. He was killed around 1911-1913 in a prison uprising. I may have family in South Africa. Frank was older than Jack. Belle Taylor, married to a Harris Smith of Canada. . They were last known to be living in Winnipeg between 1896-1897, and in Brandon, Manitoba after 1897. Belle was older than Frank. Helen Taylor (I have her photo) who married someone named Wilmonet or Will Monet. Helen was also older than Jack Possible other siblings include a brother Robert who may have ended up in Australia and a younger sister Elizabeth. His mother, Caroline Claire Leon Taylor was born in Woodburys, MA approximately 1840-1855. She was the daughter of Francis Leon, born in Paris France. Her mother is unknown. I also have her photo. Caroline died when Jack was about 7 years old. I'm guessing her death was sometime between 1889-1894. She reportedly died in Leavenworth County. Caroline was a Catholic and there may be information of her death in Parish records. Jack was probably baptized in a Catholic church in Leavenworth. May also be cemetery records for both Caroline and James. Possibly a Catholic cemetery. James was said to have remarried after Caroline's death but don't know her name or if there were additional siblings. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Since Taylor is as common as Smith & Jones, this is one of my more difficult lines to trace - my "Brick Wall". Not having any luck with 1880 Census as not sure when they arrived in Leavenworth County. Only know they were there when Jack was born which is anytime between 1882-1886. Might be in 1885 State Census but have not had time to get into that one as yet. So much information and yet so little. Thanks for your help. Judy
