The McGeady Home Page

The Taylors welcome you as visitor number    to drop by since December 18, 2004. (This counter is our second new one. We had over 7,200 visitors to our pages when the first counter failed about 5 years ago.)

Mary McGeady Taylor, born June 4, 1913 in Philadelphia, PA, was the child of Charles E. McGeady (McGady), born about March, 1880 in East Mauch Chunk [now Jim Thorpe], Bethlehem, PA, and Mary Ellen Brennan, born September, 1883 in Schuykill county, PA. Mary was the second to youngest child in that family, which included Edward ("Ned") McGeady (Brother Gratian in the Christian Brothers religious order), born about 1903; Helen McGeady Loughery, born about August 31, 1905; James McGeady, born about 1907; Charles ("Doodge") McGeady, born about 1909; Catherine McGeady Walsh, born about June 16, 1911; and Alice McGeady (adopted name: Smith), born some time after 1913. Mary Ellen died giving birth to Alice. Alice was raised by an aunt (her mother's sister?) and uncle in Wilkes Barre, PA.

Charles McGeady's father was Edward McGady (McGeady), born in Ireland in December 1845.

Edward and John McGeady served on the Union side in the Civil War.  Ben Nevis researched their records and the battles in which they were fought and wrote a book of his findings:  Edward and John McGeady in the Civil War.

(Click to see pages from Edward McGeady's diary: diary1, diary2.) His mother was Ellen Dever, born in Ireland about 1845. (Ellen had a brother, John, born about 1847.) Their children were: daughters: Eleanor McGeady; Katy McGeady, born about 1865; Agnas McGeady, born about 1872; and sons: John McGeady, born about 1877; and Charles McGeady, born about March, 1880.

It seems that Ellen may have died, because around 1893, Edward married a woman named Cecelia, who had a child named Lottise H., born about 1884. Edward and Cecelia had 2 children: Amelia C. McGady, born August 1894, and Edward McGady, born December 1897.

Edward McGady's (McGeady) father was John McGeady, born about 1815 in Ireland. His mother's name was Nancy, born about 1820 in Ireland. Their children were John, born about 1840 in Ireland; Edward, born in December, 1845 in Ireland; Mary McGeady, born about 1847 in Pennsylvania; Bridget McGeady, born about 1854 in Pennsylvania; and Mannas, a son, born about 1859 in Pennsylvania.

When you read this article, you will find a couple of errors. Jim Morgan put a wreath on his ancestor Michael's grave (not Charles McGeeady) and the next McGeady Reunion is in 2003, not 2004 - see the link to the 6th Grand Reunion (above), which links to the official Reunion page. Article about the McGeady Reunion 2000

A page about Steven McGeady at the 5th World Wide Web conference.  There are audio and video clips of his presentation.  Steven testified against Microsoft in the suit by the Justice Department.  Here is one article. And another. Here's a partial transcript and here's an article in The Washington Post. Here's mention of him again in relation to website analysis. Scott McGeady is a typo for Steven McGeady.

Go to Edit, choose Find and enter McGeady.  It will take you to the place in this page where Sister Mary Rose McGeady is mentioned.  Sister is descended from the Hazleton McGeadys.  Here's another mention of Sister's books.  Sister in the news in the Las Vegas diocese and mentioned in the New York Times article about Covenant House founder.

Links to Pages that mention a McGeady:

(Since McGeady is not a very common name, there's a better than usual chance someone with that surname might be related to Chuck's Mauch Chunk McGeadys.  I can't do this for Schmidts, Brennans, or Parkers, since there are so many people with those surnames.).
