"O'Kief Coshe Mange..." by Albert Casey Now this is what one might term the "researchers research!" Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 11:34:14 -0400 From: Dennis Ahern <ahern@world.std.com> To: CountyCork-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Casey bibliography website http://www.rootsweb.com/~irish/igsi_published/casey.htm Casey bibliography of North Cork; "O'Kief, Coshe Mang, Slieve Lougher and the Upper Blackwater" "If you can reach a major library, and you have a large magnifying glass, you can try research some of this information yourself. The images are photocopies and small. You may get a clue about things you had not thought to put on your research list! Check the Indexes and contents published in O'Kief Coshe Mange by Albert Casey. It is usually available at large Genealogical Centres, large University libraries and large City libraries." "...For it contains Roman Catholic (RC), Church of Ireland (CofI) and Quaker births, marriages and death records, Tombstone inscriptions, newspaper abstracts, Civil Documents, Court Records and whole lot more on: * 1. The primary area up until the year 1900 (and a bit beyond). * 2. All of Cork and Kerry before 1825. * 3. All of Munster before 1625. * 4. All of Ireland before 1182. Some of the early records purport to go back right to Adam and Eve (ah, give me a break). * 5. Some really arcane and jaundiced stuff on blood types, skull sizes (remember Casey was a pathologist), ancient writings and world pre-history. * 6. Some very interesting maps, a few photographs and some culture, history and emigration pieces. * 7. Copies of Tithe and Griffiths Valuations House-holder lists and maps for some areas (say, whoever bombed the Public Records office and destroyed those census papers? They sure did make life difficult). * 8. Copies of some of the classic Irish histories, some with parallel translations from the Gaelic and Medieval Latin for the extremely serious genealogists among you." * Locations include the LDS Genealogical Society Library, Salt Lake City, UT
