Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Hello Billy! Wow. Great to hear from you. As you can tell, I haven't checked in on this forum for quite some time. My sister, Claudine, forwarded to me a message today that she received on Facebook from Christine (your daughter?) and her husband, Stefan. They were looking for me, I assume because of...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Hi Sharon, Thanks for sending along that info; however, I have yet to find a way to open the attachment. I haven't exhaused all my options, so I'll let you know if I don't succeed. I'm not sure if the following will help or hinder, but some of the documents I have indicate that the maternal name was...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Indeed, it is quite a rush to be able to pick up the phone and chat with Irish relatives with whom I've never met in person. Forntunately for me, the concept isn't altogether new given that I am in close contact with my a few folks on my Grandmother's side (the O'Driscoll lineage from Schull, Co. Co...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Ok, Sharon, I have a bit more info for you. I again called Annie and Mary. Though I'm not pushing her, Mary assured me that she's working on putting together the geneological information for me, but I called to ask specifically about Michael Donnellan. Mary consulted with the encyclopedic Annie to d...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Sharon, Although I have yet to receive the promised geneological info from Annie Darcy's daughter, Mary, I have found my grandfather's (Frank's) original birth and baptismal certificate. One of the sponsors listed is Ellen Cassidy, and the other is, you guessed it, Michael Donnellan. I hope the info...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
I did indeed speak with Annie herself, albeit very briefly - she was having a hard time hearing me so she put Mary on the phone.
I wish I could drop everything and go pay them a visit, but it's just not in the cards now.
Thanks for the well-wishes everyone.

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
The Killaloe library suggested I try to find one Annie Darcy. Kay, from the library, informed me that Annie is Killaloe's oldest citizen (I think she's 92) and that she is a Cassidy. This is the same woman with whom my father and his wife visited approximately 8 or 9 years ago. I found her phone num...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
Sharon, No need to apologize re: your suggestion; I had planned on contacting Siobhan anyway, as I had found her name in one of my own searches. I actually had a pleasant conversation with Siobhan and her husband, John. They were eager to try to help and were very supportive. John even gave me a goo...

Re: Cassidys of Killaloe
I spoke with Siobhan and her husband John, and his Cassidy family is from the north. No luck there. He suggested I contact Kay at the Killaloe library. I just tried them, but they must've closed for the day.

Cassidys of Killaloe
Greetings All, My father, Richard, recently passed away, and after perusing through his pictures and other belongings, I realized that information regarding his father and mother were rather scarce. Though I found several old pictures of the my grandparents in Ireland, I found little to no written g...
