Families of County Limerick Ireland
Recently while stumbling around Amazon.com, I happened onto a book I knew I had to buy, Families of County Limerick Ireland, Volume 5 of the Book of Irish Families, great & small. The title page describes the book as containing "Over One Thousand Entries From the Archives of the Irish Genealogical Foundation".
The entry for O Casey (also Casey, MacCasey, O'Cahassy, Kasey, Casie & Cassy) runs four paragraphs, longer than many of the entries, and includes such spicy tidbits as, "Given as a principal family of the kingdom of Thomand, in Limerick", and "...given as chiefs of Rathconan, in the barony of Pubblebrien", and "... given as tituladoes in Clanwilliam barony in Limerick".
I'm really looking forward to visiting Limerick someday, it sounds like a great place to be a Casey.

Perhaps some more research is required into this... haha!
