About this Blog

This blog aims to document and share my research findings with other Hingerty descendants as I unearth all Hingertys, of all time periods across the globe.

In an attempt to overcome the impenetrable brick wall of finding a birth record for my great great grandfather John Hingerty (allegedly of Templemore, Tipperary born around 1813) I decided to try a different approach and find out all I could about the Hingertys of Tipperary. 

The hope was that I would 'stumble' across 'my' John Hingerty in the process.

The decision was premised on a belief in my father's oft quoted saying that "All Hingertys are related" and soon became the Hingerty One Name Study registered with the Guild of One Name Studies.

Research rarely occurs in a straight line- the blog will no doubt reflect the often winding path of a one name study. Sometimes earlier discoveries will need to be reviewed in the light of later evidence.

Enjoy the ride!

I look forward to hearing from 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
