A SNP for "our John"- Hingerty YDNA Project Report April 2023

-

 The Big Y 700 test results for tester SH from Australia are now in.... and the good news is that they have revealed a SNP (a YDNA mutation/variation) that most likely formed when John Hingerty (1813 Tipperary-1889 New South Wales) was conceived!

Our Hingerty YDNA tree now looks like this (the new SNP being marked with a star)

Thank you to SH who tested- his results have made this identification of the "John Hingerty" SNP possible.


As stated in the January YDNA report:

Our focus now needs to turn to the Irish and Stafford lines.

You need two testers to both be positive for a SNP and all others to be negative, for a new SNP to be named and dated. 

To achieve this state of affairs you need two men who are closely related to test. 

This has yet to be achieved on the Irish and Stafford lines as there are to date only one tester on each of these lines. 

Our research cannot progress without these additional testers.

Further testers on these two lines will assist us to:

- research the relationship between Patrick and Denis- were they brothers?
- assist us to identify a timeline to the shared ancestor for the Stafford and Irish lines
- firm up the date for "Father Hingerty"

This would move our Hingerty research forward tremendously.

Of great interest would also be results for testers from surnames such as Ingerton and Hingerton that appear to be variations of a shared surname history. This would also move us forward in identifying a date for "Father Hingerty" and a better understanding of the relationships between the various surnames associated with Hingerty in the north Tipperary area in the 1700s and 1800s.

We have achieved great things so far- we just need to keep the forward momentum in order to answer our research question:

How are all Hingertys (and Hingertons and Ingertons) 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
