Are all Hingertys related? YES!

-

 


My father always said "all Hingertys are related". 

To test his assertion, in May 2021 I launched the Hingerty Surname One Name Study.

This study included the use of YDNA testing of living male Hingerty name bearers to prove that they did (or didn't) share a common direct male ancestor.

To date seven Hingerty males have tested, with at least one tester for each of the four existing Hingerty lines 
(Australia 3, USA 2, Stafford 1, Ireland 1). 

The results for the most recent tester have started to come through including the match lists for the 111 STR Markers.



Green- Australia, Blue- USA, Orange- Stafford




All the seven Hingerty testers are a match to each other at the 111 STR Marker level.

This means that all seven share a common direct male ancestor within genealogical time.

So, we can say with certainty that all Hingerty name bearers alive today share a common ancestor and are therefore related.

My father's assertion has been proven!

Thank you to the "Hingerty Heroes" 
DH, JLH, PH, MJH, MH, WH and RH 
who tested for us all.

We now await RH's BigY SNP results which will be available in the coming weeks. 
These results will assist us to move ever closer to knowing HOW Hingertys are related.
 

If you are a direct Hingerty male and would like to take a YDNA test to assist our research, please

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
