Re: Casey Collection; good luck especially if you have people in this area:
"The area where Casey's family came from is a small portion of NW Cork and
E Kerry and the most recent records in his books pertain almost exclusively
to that location, which is much smaller than the Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area (maybe being 40 miles square in extent).
Casey found the almost incomprehensible title for his series on a 1605 map. The O'Kief's were the kings and owners of southern and western Duhallow Barony (Cork) before that time, Coshe Mang (from the Maine River) is in eastern Magunihy Barony (Kerry) and Slieve Lougher ("Bog with Cattle") and Upper Blackwater (from the river of the same name) comprise portions of Muskerry West (Cork) and Trughanacmy (Kerry) Baronies.
The area is bounded roughly by Newcastle, Tralee, Killarney and Mallow"
Irish Telephone Directory Online - Many families still live in same townlands today as they did in 1800's. A good place to look are phone directories.
