Let's begin with a bit of geography....  Where is Templederry?   Where were these two Harrington families located in relation to each other? Location of Templederry in Ireland Location of Templederry in Tipperary Location of the two Harrington families in Templederry Parish Family 1: Family 1 was discussed in a previous post  Link to previous blog post Descendants of Family 1 still live and farm in the Cloghinch area.  Their family oral history has them arriving in the Templederry area with the Great March of the O'Sullivans in 1603. They believe that they, along with a larger group of men, women and children were purposely left behind in the mountainous forests of this area to keep them safe during the time of the March. A number of (non-Harrington) families in the area hold this same oral histo

  The O'hlongadail Atlas 1603-1901, Tipperary for the surnames Harrington, Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton. An "O'hlongardail Atlas" was created using Google Maps in December 2023 (find link below) to explore the research question: Are the modern day surnames Harrington, Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton  linked by location and/or naming patterns in Tipperary after 1603? Background:  All 4 surnames, when found in Tipperary records, are believed: - to be variations/Anglicisations of the earlier clan name of O'hlongadail. -to have arrived in County Tipperary from the Bantry Bay/Beara Peninsular area of south west Cork as a result of the Great March of the O'Sullivans January 1603. The exact relationship between individual families using these 4 surnames is unknown and undocumented. Surname Variants: When using the Atlas, you will note the use of a variety of spellings for our 4 target surnames and a change in these variations across time. The most prevalent surn

  What we know now that we didn't know before: 1. All Hingertys are related . We have now tested 11 Hingerty males who represent at least 2 male testers from each of the 4 existing Hingerty lines who have males alive today. They all match each other on both STR and SNP testing. That is, they all share a common direct male ancestor. 2. The Time to Most Distant Common Ancestor (TMDCA) is currently estimated to be around 1717 . This date may change as more testers are tested and more data becomes available. 3. Using this current date of 1717 as a ball park figure and estimating the number of generations needed to 'fill in the gaps' from the known most distant ancestors of each of the 4 lines, we can guesstimate that the Hingerty testers are about 7th or 8th cousins to each other. 4. Our Hingerty testers match (more distantly) Harrington males from Cork . This supports the hypothesis that we were all originally of the O'Hingerdell clan which occupied lands in the Cork townl
