Invitation to Ingerton and Hingerton males to join the Hingerty YDNA Project

-

UPDATE April 2024: SUCCESS!

An Ingerton male descendant of Thomas Hingerton/Hingerty (who lived in Roscrea, Tipperary in the 1800s) took a BigY700 test at Family Tree DNA. 

The results became available in April 2024.

The results show that this descendant shares a direct common male ancestor with 11 Hingerty testers (who represent each of the 4 Hingerty family branches with living males in the world today).

It is currently estimated that this common ancestor would have been born about 1700.

These results show that the surnames Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton are closely related.

In the 1700s they shared a single male ancestor.

Now we need a Hingerton tester and an Ingerton tester from the USA, to make more connections between these rare surnames.

If you are an Ingerton or Hingerton male, or know of one, PLEASE have them contact me

 hingerty@one-name.org or chingerty@redlocust.com



Are you a male with the surname Ingerton or Hingerton?

We need you!

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
