  When putting together family trees in Ireland a researcher must sometimes resort to using some less familiar resources, such as Dog Licences. Irish records are notoriously scant which is the result of a combination of: * being a war torn, invaded country * The General Records Office having been blown up (munitions stored IN the building) in the 1920s. All records had been studiously collected into this state of the art building for safe keeping...... * Census records having been destroyed in the blast and subsequent fire, having been purposely destroyed as not being of interest and having been turned into pulp for paper production during war time. It is therefore very difficult to put together family trees .......So you go looking for alternative information sources- such as Dog Licences! Dog licences were introduced into Irish law in 1865 with the first licences issued the following year. A licence cost 2 Shillings per dog with an extra 6 pence for administration costs. The lice...

What happened to Margaret Kehoe nee Hingerty and her husband Edward Kehoe? When and where did they die? Margaret Hingerty was born about 1821 and arrived on the ship "Jane Gifford" in 1841 with her cousin (?) John Hingerty.  (Birth date unknown- would be 1821 according to her age on the shipping records or 1818 according to her age on the Request to Marry records of 1844.) Margaret is listed on the shipping records as a housemaid from Toomevera, Tipperary. who can neither read nor write. Her parents are listed as William Hingerty, farmer and Mary Quinlan, his wife. In 1844 Margaret married Edward Kehoe/Kehor in Sydney after obtaining the necessary permission to marry since Edward had been a convict. Edward was from County Wexford and had been transported to Sydney on the ship "Lonarch" in 1825 for a term of 7 years for killing a cow and a heifer.  He received his Ticket of Leave in 1830 in the Bathurst area,    one year before the end of his sentence. At the time of...

  Today (January 18, 2022)  is an historic day for Hingerty family research! We now have a Hingerty YDNA Haplogroup!  To explain (the quick version):  YDNA is the DNA that only males have.  YDNA mutates slowly and is not affected by recombination each generation as autosomalDNA is.  YDNA can be traced back in a direct male line back, from son to father to father.... back to the dawn of time when YDNA Adam lived in Africa. Gradually, groups moved out of Africa, spreading their YDNA signatures across the surface of the earth,  following different migration paths and timelines. These broad haplogroups are named by the letters A through to T. As well as mapping this development of the various haplogroups geographically, this movement and mutation has also been represented as a branching tree, called The Tree of all Mankind. This tree started out as simple one page poster, but as more and more men have taken YDNA tests, and as the tests have become more and...
