    I imagine my brother has already got with you. We have been in America since the 1700s. Our most prolific ancestor was Alfred Hingerty (The Boatswain). He was married 3 times and had somethinglike 13 kids. The Civil War kind of divided the family, I think. The HIngertys from the north are not in touch with us from the south.Alfred didnt go with the Confederacy, he was stuck up north during the war. H was on medical leave. at Kittery Maine. When the war ended he was able to return to his large farm, 650 acres in Iseel of Wight Co. VA. He was probably the richest guy in town since most of the southerners were like the Post war Germans. POOR. He had a pension. as a retired Naval officer. My brother knows this stuff better than I do. Back in the early 90s using Prodicy I discovered the son of the "artist" Hingerty. No one had internetm they were using Compuserv or AOL or Prodigy. He told me he liked NASCAR racing and I sent him a Tshirt from the company I worked for. (Allied Signal) Im the black sheep.Blue collar guy. Hippie days. Hitchhiking around. Chasing women. My brother was the succesful. (Lawyer) Somebodys got to do it, huh? I am 71 now. I had two children. I lost my daughter in 96. My son is a neer do well in Richmond VA. College Grad, for what thats worth. He is kind of a Roustabout, and a French Chef. He works with band and concerts setting up their complicated stage sets. ANyway we have been surprised that there were Hingertys anywhere else. During WW2 my father got off the plane in Shannon and found a man who knew the name. But my bro sentme this stuff so I magine he has been in touch.

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 11...

Is this the Hingerty Homeland?

Image
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...
