This e-mail tickled me as I was always told My Case family were Irish and Penn. Dutch.
I'm back to the 1700's and to my knowledge I haven't found an Irish or Penn.
Dutch relative yet. I did find one born in Scotland.

For me, my family also thought we were Irish and
hypothosized about the Case - Casey connection, but
what I found when I did research was that there was a
very dominant Irish-Catholic matriarch (mid-late
1800's) who married into the family, converted her
husband to Catholicism, and who then told her sons
they were Irish based her Irish ancestry (nothing
unusual). Consecutive generations died young, the
Irish belief remained, but no one knew precisely why,
hence the theories about Casey.
