Maryann, where o where does that leave me???? I'm laughing. See my website, www.cassilly.org , under "Origins" on the menu, where my ggrandfather, Bernard E. Cassilly wrote a manuscript in 1890 pinpointing his home half-way between Keady in Co. Armagh and the Monaghan border, a distance of about ten miles. Also, his and his parents' names were spelled "CassiLy" in Ireland (verified by a genealogist), but were changed to "CassiLLy" when they migrated to the US! I have, under "Origins" on the menu, a positive, verified transcript of "James 1 Inquisition at Armagh" in 1607 saying that the O'CassiLy sept from Co. Armagh has been a long and faithful subject of the Bishop, so they could stay on their land! O that darn fire at the Four Courts in 1922 which destroyed the repository of all the ancient Irish records! It won the independence of the Irish Republic, but why, o why did it have to happen at that repository????? I'm still laughing. This genealogy is so much fun. May I ask what is the name of that book and where I could get a copy, if possible? Would you kindly tell me if there is any more info in that book about the Cassilly family and where they migrated from? Some other variants of my name include CassiLy, CassALy, CassELy, CassERLy, etc. Would that book have anything to say about these names? Thanks!

Hi Jim, My husband's aunt had this book privately reprinted in 1965 as a gift for her family because she was an avid genealogist her entire life. The original book is titled "A Genealogical History of the Milesian Families of Ireland with the Monument to Brian Boroimhe: The Chart of The Armorial Bearings of the Same Families" compiled and edited by B.W. DeCourcy, published by W.F. Overdiek and M.L. Riegel, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1880. I assume the original book was long out of print when she had it reproduced. It is a small book, about 75 pages, comprised mainly of lists with no source material cited and very brief information about the names mentioned, but it is fun to read through. I agree about the Four Courts fire, if only we had a Time Machine and could go back before the fire, it would make the search for our families so much easier, but then would each new puzzle piece be as exciting when we find it? Good luck in your search, if I stumble across anything else I will post it. Maryann Jim Cassilly wrote: > Maryann, where o where does that leave me???? I'm laughing.
