Dear Genealogy Friends,
As promised, I have gathered all the notes from my Cassada/Cassidy file that I
made while searching for my Cassidy line in and around Halifax County, Patrick
Co, and Charlotte Co. Va. Am sending this to both the Cassidy List and the
Southside List as well as individuals who e-mailed me searching for Cassidys.
I hope this helps someone.
