Earliest Photo of a Hingerty ancestor?

-

 The search is on for the earliest photo of a Hingerty ancestor!

I have two photos to put forward.

The first is a photo of John Hingerty's wife Isabella McDonald (1826-1913)

John and Isabella married in Goulburn, NSW in 1845.

I'm not sure when this photo was taken. Does anyone have a date for this photo?

The second photo is the oldest photo I have seen of a Hingerty by birth. It was probably taken around 1887 and is a photo of John and Isabella's tenth child 

Thomas Joseph Hingerty (1868-1940), his wife Elizabeth Amanda Trefle (1867-1948) and three of their sons (from left to right) Ted, Frank and Lou.

Do you have a photo of an early Hingerty ancestor to share?

I would love to hear from you!

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

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 11...

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...
