Hingerty YDNA Match!

Recently a Hingerty male from the USA tested to 111 Markers for YDNA at the company FTDNA as part of the Hingerty Surname YDNA project.

The results are in.......drum roll please............

We have a match!


Results of Hingerty YDNA Testing

The Hingerty tester in the USA matches the Hingerty tester in the UK (Stafford) and the Hingerty tester in Australia who had previously tested at FTDNA. 

This tells us that the descendants of:

William Hingerty (1765-1831) in the USA, 

Patrick Hingerty (1811-1866) in Stafford and 

John Hingerty (1813- 1889) in Australia 

all shared a common male ancestor.

These three lines are related and at some point in the genealogical past they shared a common Hingerty male ancestor.

There is no documentary evidence to prove this connection as documents for the time period in Ireland are scarce to non existent. YDNA is therefore the only way to prove the connection.

Where to next?

To prove that the USA, Stafford and Australian Hingerty lines are related to the Irish family lines, we need two Hingerty males in Ireland to take a YDNA test.

To identify a YDNA signature for the USA, Stafford and Australian lines we need at least one more Hingerty male from each of these lines to take a YDNA test.

What can you do to help?

If you are a Hingerty male, please contact me to discuss the possibility of you taking a YDNA test at FTDNA and joining the Hingerty Surname YDNA Project.

If you are a Hingerty female, you cannot take the YDNA test as it is for males only but you can talk to your male Hingerty relatives about YDNA testing and you can donate funds to assist male Hingerty testers to pay for their tests. Funds are managed via the FTDNA website and can only be used to pay for tests.

Are all Hingertys related?  How are they related?

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
