Are all Hingertys related?

All Hingertys are related



or so my father, John William Hingerty (1923-2008) always claimed.

In order to test out this theory, in July 2021, 
I launched the Hingerty One Name Study

A One Name Study aims to research the genealogy and family history of all persons with a given surname- collecting all incidences of the surname and organising surname bearers into family trees.

The following video explains: What is a One Name Study?

The Hingerty One Name Study aims to:
  • research the origins and history of the surname;
  • locate all recorded incidences of the surname in Ireland and immigrant countries (Australia, USA, England);
  • reconstruct family trees;
  • explore migration, frequency and distribution patters of the surname;
  • conduct a YDNA project to assist family tree reconstruction.
The study will be supported by:
  • the Hingerty One Name Study Website hosted by the Guild of One Name Studies, including a tree of Hingerty name bearers organised into family branches. The tree is a work in progress, initially documenting the Hingerty surname in the immigrant countries of Australia, England and the USA. Photos and historical documents will be added to individuals in the tree over the coming months. Click on the link and check out if 'your' Hingerty ancestors are in the tree.
  • the  Hingerty YDNA Project . This project has been set up to assist with identifying the various family lines. Please contact if you are interested in joining this YDNA project.
  • this blog site!

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

-
Image
Background: We currently have nine Hingerty BigY700 testers representing the four exisiting Hingerty lines with living Hingerty males. We have the results of eight of the tests, the most recent (BH, USA) becoming available this month (January 2023). The ninth test (SH, Australia) was only taken and posted to the lab in Texas in late December. We will have those results in a few month's time. We are using a combination of: * Genealogical data * STR data from YDNA testing (111 Markers) * SNP data from YDNA testing (BigY700)  to answer our two research questions  Are all Hingertys related?  How are they related? Thank you to our "Hingerty Heroes" JH, PH, MJH, SH, BH, MH, WH, DH and RH for taking the YDNA tests and allowing our research to progress. (Click  here  to view a video presentation introducing you to YDNA and the Hingerty YDNA Project.) What the results have revealed to date: All Hingertys are related: STR Evidence: All Hingerty testers match at the STR 111 Marker l

Is this the Hingerty Homeland?

Is this the Hingerty Homeland? Place names in Ireland often reflect the clans and families who previously occupied the land. While researching early references to the O'hlongadail name, I came across "Family Names of County Cork" by Diarmuid O Murchadha. He mentions the townland of  Kippaghingerghill  in the Bantry area of Cork. The name Kippaghingergill translates to "Long plot of land belonging to the O'Hingerdills". This is what it looks like if we zoom in a bit closer. Overlaying the "South West Ireland 12th Century Clan Map"  with Google Maps, it looks like Kippaghingerghill is in the same area as the clan map locates the O'Hingerdill. For further information re pronunciation, meaning and references to this townland, see Irish department of Heritage and Culture  for this location. The website  townlands.ie  has this boundary map and details So, is this the Hingerty Homeland? The map lines up, the names lines up.... and it does line up with
