R-FTB79413- The USA Hingerty Haplogroup!

The USA Hingerty Haplogroup!

Recently 'WH' of the USA tested with the BigY700 YDNA test at FTDNA and his results are in!

.... and, because of his test, we have a new branch on the Tree of All Mankind that represents the descendants of Thomas Rice Hingerty born in 1864 in the USA.

How exciting is that!


And....(drum roll please)....we are one step closer to identifying (and therefore being able to estimate a date for) the shared direct male ancestor of all Hingertys alive in the world today! 

The Hingerty YDNA Tree now looks like this:

Hingerty YDNA Tree August 2022


Note: You may have noted changes in the date predictions from my previous  post on this topic. As more men test generally on BigY700, and as more Hingerty men test, the time estimates are refined- a YDNA test is the test that keeps giving as FTDNA constantly refine results as more tests are taken.

The 'Holy Grail' is to identify the SNP Variant/Haplogroup for the men:

*  John ? (Australian Hingerty ancestor), 
* William 1765 (USA Hingerty ancestor) and 
* D? or J? 1790? (Stafford and Ireland Hingerty ancestor) 

and thus to be able to estimate the approximate birth year of "Father Hingerty"  and the relationships between all of them.

Then we can work out how all Hingertys alive in the world today are related. What a happy day that will be! 

To get there we need more testers...........

* A direct male descendant of John Alexander Hingerty 1864 (Australia)

* A direct male descendant of either Alfred Delaney or Charles Demetrius Hingerty (USA)

* A direct male descendant of Michael Richard Hingerty 1850 (Stafford)

* A direct male descendant of Thomas Hingerty 1889 (Ireland)

As there are only about 120 Hingerty name bearers in the world.... and not all of them are males..... our pool of testers is very small.... so if you are a Hingerty male, please consider volunteering to test.......

To volunteer (or ask any questions), simply contact me and, if you are happy to test, I will arrange for the test to be ordered, paid for and delivered to your door.

All you need to do is to take a cheek swab and post it to the lab in the packaging provided.

It's as simple as that..... it will only take a few minutes from your busy day and you will be contributing greatly to Hingerty family research and making this passionate (obsessive?) Hingerty researcher very happy and forever grateful!

(As luck would have it, there is a sale on at FTDNA until August 31st.... so now is a good time to test!)

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
