Looking for Casey ancestors

Hello!  

I have found an Irish ancestor while tracing my lineage on Ancestry. Her name was Catherine Cassy (sp?), but she was born in what is now Nova Scotia,Canada. Her great grandfather was Roger Caissy (sp?) born 1651 who's father was Michael Keussey (sp?) born 1623.
 

I am not sure which county or parish I should search in, and I have found that most of the records don't exist anymore. It is possible that Michael's father was also called Roger and that he was born in County Fermanagh around 1600.

i would appreciate any help that I could get in this search.

Ali,

The surname Cassidy is very common in Co. Fermanagh. (The 1901 census of the county has 563). So possibly that’s your ancestor’s name. Unfortunately there are no church or other comprehensive records for Fermanagh in the early 1600s. I see little prospect of tracing where your ancestor came from.

Thank you for that information, but their family name is definitely Casey. Roger Casey was born in Ireland and then went to Beaubassin, Acadia (Nova Scotia)
