Hi fellow listers, OK, 'twas foolish of me to post a message to the list, when it wouldn't go thru to Jane Flanagan's private email. Sorry, I am unable to do lookups in the 2 volumes of Casey that I own. Wish I could. [Jane happened to need info from the very parish where a few of my grandmother's MAHONEY siblings were baptized, Inchigeelagh. So I'm more familiar with using Vols. 7 & 11 than most of the other 14 volumes.] Casey's print is quite tiny, 4 pages to a "real" page. Picture about 2700 pages squeezed onto a mere 625 pages of the average volume. Requires magnifying glass & very good lighting, and enough time... Casey covers mainly Northwest Cork plus eastern Co. Kerry. Except that, before 1825, it covers much more, and...well, for a far better explanation, anybody researching County Cork really should read Ray Marshall's 1995 excellent article from "The Septs" entitled "The Mother Lode of Irish Genealogy." It is wonderfully helpful, and entertaining too. Mother Lode article IGSI <http://www.irishgenealogical.org/igsi_published/casey.htm> The list of libraries at the article's end is incomplete. Check your local and state historical libraries' online catalogues, more now have one or more vols. Milwaukee's IEL and Minneapolis' genealogy library are not the only ones that have all 16. Before and after locating Casey, assistance is needed. Michele Patin has written a very readable, thorough guide [I had great fun helping her with a church records appendix & an IGI shortcut]. The wise folks of Rootsweb's Co. Kerry list have placed this finding aid online at: Aid to Finding Information in the Casey Collection <http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Eirlker/caseyaid.html> <http://my.execpc.com/%7Eigsw/> Banner Press in Birmingham, Alabama is the place to order any volume or set, directly from the authorized publisher. Others may offer you a set of all 16 for a "mere $1000." One scoundrel offered me a set for $2000! Beware such dastardly knaves... Cost from Banner to me was about $35 each, plus shipping, about 4 years ago. Save your green for a trip to... a greener place! If you do buy any, please consider designating a library to receive them when you pass on; they are indeed that valuable... Casey fan but still learning, Barb Glassel
