Sub-Cat: Alpha_Landed - documented immigrant landed in Ulster or North America.
This is one Sub-Category of my top level Personal Category, McAdoo-199. I use it in my research, not only of my McAdoo ancestors, but ALL of the members of the McAdoo family together with the surname's variant spellings such as McAdow, McAdoe, Macadoo, Makado, and similar. I use sub-categories to tag selected McAdoo profiles, and McAdoo related profiles, in order to connect leads, explore relationships, and flag possible connections. This facilitates my research on McAdoos and their origins and migrations.
As I use them the terms: Ulster means the old counties of Ulster province but also includes anywhere else in present-day Northern Ireland UK and the Republic of Ireland and North America includes the present-day USA, Canada, and the West Indies.
I identify profiles tagged with this sub-category as persons who are documented by immigration records, customs records, and/or passenger lists as immigrants arriving for the first time in North America or Ulster from somewhere else; and tag their profile accordingly.
Until an Alpha_Landed McAdoo is connected to the other McAdoo branches of the family tree in Scotland, Ulster, or North America, most Alpha_Candidate McAdoos are often also sub-categorized as a Tree_Top McAdoo, the head of a new branch or family line in the arrival country, not yet connected to other ancestral McAdoo branches.
