Since I wrote my earlier message, I have seen the original archived discussion on this. It mentions Samuel Nutt's forge on French Creek (near Phoenixville ?) and both Cassea and Cuccasea. The original message was In an email today, Charlene states: "...Walter and John WINTER were hung July 03, 1728 Cuccasea, Chester Co Pennsylvania for killing what they thought were "hostile" Indians." Does anyone recognize that place name: Cuccasea? This incident probably took place in what is now Delaware County, possibly in the area immediately south of Philadelphia along the Delaware River.

I thought this might interest some people since we all are so willing to grab any information we can to help us in our quest. Nancy M. Dickinson Fayette County Rootsweb Webmaster http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohfayett 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+arr ested&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 mostpeople 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.

I just learned that I am related to the family descended from Eugene Stirlite (Hardouin). My Great Grandfather was Henri Charles Hardouin. He was the son of Dominique Hardouin and Jeanne Eugenie Poulain and born in Nantes, France 26 May 1839; entered the U.S. in 1875. Married Marie Louise Houlmann born in Bern, Switzerland 7 March 1847. They both came to U.S. and had one child, my Grandmother Eugenie Julie Hardouin. Henri died in 1910 and Marie Louise in 1897. Their daughter Eugenie married my Grandfather, John Joseph Doyle and they had 6 children. Eugene Hardouin married Annie Quigley, changed his name to Stirlite and his descendants eventually settled in Wilmington, DE. I have been in contact with a member of his family, Carlos Ruth of Palm Beach Gardens, FL. I would enjoy hearing from any Hardouin/Stirlite descendants and sharing information. Helen (Doyle) Gallo

I went to Google; clicked Images and typed in "Chester PA"...pictures of Chester came up with a web site for old photos @ http://www.oldchesterpa.com. Linda Egan Flynn

Hi List, When doing genealogy research, in Delaware Co., we always wonder what the area looked like during a certain time period. Especially, when our ancestors/families lived & worked here. If we have pictures, to look at, it gives us a much better prospective on life -- then & now. (Sometimes giving us clues in regard to doing our genealogy research.) My daughter Jan, is interested in pictures of the City of Chester! How would she go about obtaining &/or purchasing these picture? Does anyone have pictures they might want to share? Do you know of anyone you could refer her to? Thank you very much for any help you can give her! :) Please contact her at: [email protected] Happy New Year, Helen

With regards to prices, Delaware's Vital Statistics charges 10.00 for each certificate and has for at least the past year or more. WHen the records are old enough for the Archives in Dover, the cost is about 50cents since you copy it from microfilm. What a shame we have to wait so long to save a few dollars. lol. Just thought someone might like to know the prices here in Delaware. Take care. Vickie
