    1. [IRL-KERRY] Casey Collection Finding Aids
    2. Barb Glassel
    3. Greetings, Another library which has all the volumes of Casey is the Irish Emigration Library. It is open Wednesdays from 2 to 8 p.m., on the main floor of the ICHC [Irish Cultural and Heritage Center], west end of the Marquette U. campus, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The IEL has many other resources which are worth the trip. Go to the IGSW website <http://my.execpc.com/~igsw/> then to Wisconsin Resources. Also, contact them in advance to maximize your research time. To prepare for using Casey, Rootsweb's Kerry website has a link to a detailed "Finding Aid" written by Michelle Patin. It is very thorough, even has recommendations for what to do if your ancestors seem to be outside Casey's geographical area. > <http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/caseyaid.html> This leads to a pdf. file which takes a while to view. It is copyrighted but you can print out whichever parts apply, for personal use. Michelle explains how to use the LDS website [the IGI] by plugging in specific Batch Numbers, as a shortcut index to many of Casey's parish baptismal and marriage records that are prior to 1870. The Batch Numbers are in an appendix which I enjoyed helping Michelle to compile. Note: Casey does contain post-1870 parish records, they're just not in the IGI. Best of luck, Barb Glassel
