Good post, Marie. And don't forget that he paid to have the books index in a time long before the personal computer where it probably had to be done using 3x5 cards. Remember, there are over 3,000,000 names I the book!

Albert Casey spent years tracing his family in Ireland and along the way, he literally gathered every record that the places had and he proceeded to publish his work. Unfortuanately, someone decided to take 4 sheets of 8.5" x 11" and condense them to one page. You need a good magnifying glass to read most of it. Of course, instead of 16 volumes, it would have probably been 84 volumes. Bless the man that had the patience to gather all the information! In his work he has information that even the Irish National Archives doesn't have. If you tried to get any of this information today from the different churchs or heritage centers, it would costs you several thousand dollars! Hope this gives you an idea how important this collection is!

How does someone get ahold of the Casey Collection? Are the books for sale, online, at libraries? Sorry to be dense, but heard of them before only as if they were just in Ireland.
