Dear Cassidys and friends,
The Cassidy Clan is pleased to announce that we have launched a "new"
website. The address is
www.cassidyclan.org This represents the first
major revision of the Cassidy Clan website since it was created in
1998.
We hope you find the new site both attractive and easy to navigate. The
site has pages on Cassidy family history, information on the
development of variations of the Cassidy surname in the U.S., profiles
of Cassidys today, and beautiful photos and watercolors of sites in
County Fermanagh, where the Cassidys originated. Among the new features
are a message board for genealogical and clan related postings. We also
have details on the August 2002 Clan Rally. We hope you can join the
Cassidys worldwide that will be coming to County Fermanagh for the
rally.
Finally, we have two additional CDs from Na Casaidigh for sale from our
gift shop at
http://www.cassidyclan.org/gift.htm. Na Casaidigh are sons
of Sean � Caiside, the Cassidy Clan chieftain. Na Casaidigh come from a
family of 10 siblings raised speaking Irish in Gaoth Dobhair on the
rugged Atlantic coastline of County Donegal. The band has played at
several Cassidy Clan rallies and are well known in Ireland, having
released six CDs and performed at state visits to Ireland by Presidents
Reagan and Clinton.
Na Casaidigh have been widely acclaimed by both traditionalists and
contemporary Celtic music followers and critics. The New York Times
observed that the group offers "the exciting sounds of traditional and
20th century Ireland. In a leading guide to Irish music, Na Casaidigh
are described as "among the very best unison singers around (they
harmonise beautifully too), the family's standard of musicianship never
drops below the highest level." The new CDs will make wonderful
additions to the collections of all fans of traditional Irish music.
You support of the Cassidy Clan is greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Stephen Cassidy
