The McAdoo Clan

The McAdoo Clan blog contains genealogy information, as well as other items of interest to family and friends. My branch of the family has its roots in Northern Ireland and its history in the U.S. dates from about 1850 in Philadelphia. My great great grandparents, William and Sarah Menow McAdoo moved to Port Kennedy, Montgomery County, PA from Philadelphia in the late 1860s. Until recent years, most of the family resided in eastern Pennsylvania.
