1901 and 1911 Irish Censuses Available Online

These two censuses are available online at The National Archives of Ireland website at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/.

While I have been unable to connect any of my U.S. McAdoo ancestors to McAdoos in Ireland so far in my genealogy research, I did learn some interesting general information about the McAdoos.

In 1901, there were 128 individuals with the McAdoo surname living in Ireland. Most lived in Co. Monaghan (53), followed by Donegal (15), then Londonderry (15). The remaining number resided in six other counties. The predominate religion was Presbyterian (72), followed by Church of Ireland and Irish Church (46).

There were 108 individuals with the McAdoo surname listed in the 1911 Census. The largest number still lived in Monaghan (35), followed by Donegal (20), then Londonderry (17). The largest religious group continued to be the Presbyterians (58), followed by the Church of Ireland and Irish Church (39).

The website also contains a listing of Irish genealogy websites, and other valuable resource information. Check it out when you get a chance.
