Hi Sharon, Thanks for the various links and details. > highly recommend collecting everything on Cusack in Clare and their > particular Clare localities (two different sets of books), at the Registry > of Deeds, Henrietta Street, Dublin. By this am I correct in assuming that you mean I should check the townlands list and the grantor's list, right? I haven't used Rosemary Ffolliott's Biographical Notices before, but have heard of them. Does anyone know if they are they widely available?

Jo, Yes as to grantor's and townland sets of books at The Registry. Fiches of the biographical notices (which are the actual newspaper articles, in toto) are available in almost every major genealogical collection which includes Irish material. I believe you have some major university libraries that you can check in your general area. (In the U.S., the Newberry Library in Chicago has the set.) Cusack may be a short enough section (since the series only covers Munster-region newspapers) that you can ask for photocopies of the Cusacks, rather than try to get to the fiches themselves. I took notes on a few surnames in my research, when I was in the Genealogical Office, Dublin, by special permission, and I had only 20 minutes till closing. Then I obtained the Hehir set by photocopies from a very kind person with access to the Newberry. You certainly relationships and the scoop on the characters of these folk. Well worth the effort.
