offer up my unconnected CASEY in hope of finding any other researchers for
Sinclair CASEY; he is my GGGrandfather and has been the end of the line
since I began researching family in 1993.

Subject: Re: [CASEY] CASEY from Co Tipperary
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
