As mentioned in the “History” section, the original researcher of the McGeady name, Paul J. McGeady, was frequently able to link groups together without being able to connect them to his own family. He came up with the idea of creating “branches” of the McGeady family based on something that each inter-related group had in common. For example, he used the term “Fawnaboy” to describe his family group, based on an area in Ireland. He used “Hazleton” and “Mauch Chunk” to indicate the area where other major family branches had settled in the U.S..
Unfortunately not all his information is available, but this website is an attempt to fill in the gaps.
The McGeady branches that we are currently aware of are listed below. More information on each branch will be available in the future, and if you would like to send us some information, please email webadmin@mcgeady.org or join the discussion in our Facebook group, McGeady Worldwide.
