Hi Chris,
I'm not familiar with such towns in Co Tipperary but it's a big county. Mine came
from a town near Co Cork and Waterford (Waterford Diocese in fact).
For our education, would you mind telling us how we might benefit from the DNA efforts and
how it might differ if CASEY is not our surname?
Slainte!

Hi Scott,
Happy New Years to you as well.
My Casey's came from the township of Annagh, Parish Murroe, in County
Limerick. Last April I took my first visit to Ireland, and found that
my Casey ancestors also reached into County Tipperary. We found a few
Casey burials of interest near the town of Newport in Tipperary.
Here's a few links you may find of interest..
Michael Casey (1850/Annagh,Limerick - 1988/Chicago), is my immigrant
ancestor

Michael Casey (in Rockvale Cemetery near Newport, County Tipperary),
this Michael is a half-nephew of my above GG Grandfather Michael.

and if you have any interest in our story of Casey hunting in
Tipperary, and how to cross a field with a 'Beware of Bull' sign to
reach a graveyard, look here:

One more link, a pitch to all to join the Casey Surname DNA project.
The more members we have, the better odds of a breakthrough for all of
us!

I don't have an apparent connection to Richard's posting but it
reminded me that I haven't posted in a long time and that I hadn't
seen any CASEY activity in a long while.
I am wondering if there are any CASEY researchers that have roots in
Co Tipperary and their family ended up on the East Coast of the
U.S. My family ended up in / around MA ariybd tge 1870s to 1880s.
Happy New Year,
Scott
