This is being addressed to the Kerry list and copied to: Kildare, Limerick, Beara and Fermanagh-Gold. Feel free to copy and forward it to any other list you think would be interested. As those of you on the Kerry list are aware, Michael Danahy recently made a copy of the Casey Collection available on that list. I am happy to say that the Southern California Genealogical Society has purchased that collection and it will soon be available for patron use at our library in Burbank, California. This is 16 VOLUMES of Irish records! For more information on the Casey Collection, officially titled: O'Kief, Coshe Mang, Slieve Lougher and Upper Blackwater in Ireland, see the following websites: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/caseykerry.html"> http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/caseykerry.html</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/caseyaid.html"> http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/caseyaid.html</A> We have an Irish Workshop coming up on December 30th, so any of you who were planning on coming out to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl can come and check it out! I have asked that it be ready for use by then. The only problem I can see is where to put it. We will have to do a major shift to fit it in. Michael has told me we will need 42" of shelf space. Be sure to let me know if you will be in Pasadena as that is where I live. So, here is your invitation to come and check out the Casey Collection and our library at the same time. The Irish Workshop is Dec. 30th from 10 am till 4 pm. The name, location and contact information for the library is: Southern California Genealogical Society and Family Research Library 417 Irving Drive Burbank, CA 91504-7262 Phone: 818-843-7247 Email: scgs@scgsgenealogy.com Website: <A HREF="http://www.scgsgenealogy.com"> http://www.scgsgenealogy.com</A> Regular hours for the library are Tuesdays from 10 am to 9 pm, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10 am to 4 pm, every 1st and 2nd Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, and every 3rd and 4th Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. The library is also open at other times for special events and programs. Check the website for those events. If you live in Southern California and have always wanted to check out the Casey Collection now is the time. If you cannot come to the library but would like one of our research team to check it out for you, we do offer that service for a fee. I am hoping to see some new faces at that next workshop and am looking forward to meeting more people from my online friends.
