Hi, Joan,
Thanks for your quick response! I'll try your list, as suggested....tho we
have a friend who lives in Ireland who hasn't even had much success. I
suppose we were grasping at straws when we approached the Caskey list, in
the probably vain hope that long ago someone adopted a surname from the
area they came from. In this case, if Arthur, Earl of Caskey ever did
exist, the family apparently took the "Arthur" as the surname, as evidenced
by Mary Ann Arthur's tombstone in PA. Perhaps I should search in that
direction.
Appreciate your help in this matter. I suppose I should remove myself from
the Caskey list, now, since there really isn't probably any connection with
any of you.....
which is a shame, since everyone I've heard from seems like someone nice to
be related to!
Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Judi

Hello Judi,
This is the CASKEY surname list. If you are looking for information or
a location your best bet is to try the Ireland locality list.

Hi!
I originally contacted the Caskey list with a question about a
geographical place named Caskey, probably in Ireland. I have an
ancestor who lived in Mercer, PA who has been presented to us as Mary
Ann Arthur, daughter of Arthur, Earl of Caskey, coming from Ireland.
Have found many surnames of Arthur there, but cannot seem to pinpoint
any Caskey or why she'd bill herself in that way [unless she was trying
to impress the locals over here!].
I'd appreciate any suggestions as to the solution of this mystery,
especially if anyone knows of an actual Caskey town/area, etc. in
Ireland. I'm trying to sort it all out for my 80-year-old mom, who
really would like to find the answer to this mystery at long last.
Thanks so much for your assistance!
Best wishes,
Judi Hunter
