Irish Clan Book - Cassidy

Celebrated for their contribution to Irish literature, Celtic medical lore and the religious life of the island, bearers of the name of Cassidy flourished for centuries in the ancient province of Ulster.

As hereditary physicians to the Maguire chiefs of Fermanagh, they shared in both their fortunes and misfortunes and became victims of the final collapse of the Gaelic order.

In much more peaceful times, David Cassidy is the American actor and singer best known for his role in the popular 1970s sitcom The Partridge Family, while as a best-selling international pop star his many hits include Could It Be Forever.

In the world of classical music, Patrick Cassidy, born in Claremorris, Co. Mayo, is the Irish composer who has written a number of scores for films that include the 2001 Hannibal and the 2005 Kingdom of Heaven.

Presented here is the vibrant tale of the Cassidys of both yesteryear and today.
