    Could Y-DNA Testing Turbo Boost your One Name Study? Webinar

    9:00 am - 11:00 am

    Could Y-DNA Testing Turbo Boost your One Name Study? Webinar


    Guild contact: Julie Goucher

    Could Y-DNA Testing Turbo Boost your One-Name Study with Christine Hingerty will take place on 17 March at 9am London Time. The webinar is open to everyone, but registration is essential. A recording will be available.

    REGISTER HERE

    Here is what Chris had to say:

    Christine Hingerty took up genetic genealogy in 2016 in order to

    1. Find her adoptee husband’s biological family, and
    2. Assist her brother in law (the family historian) to solve a few mysteries in her own family tree that had remained even after many years of traditional research.

    Having found her husband’s biological family and resolving most of the family mysteries (and finding a few more!), she now uses the skills learned to assist others to understand and make use of their autosomal and Y-DNA results to answer their genealogical research questions.

    In 2020 Chris took the plunge and registered a Hingerty One Name Study with the Guild of One Name Studies to find links back in Ireland for her great great grandfather John Hingerty, and to answer the question “Are all Hingertys related?”. This study turbo boosted her interest in Y-DNA testing.

    Five years later, a website, two blogs, a Face Book group, and three FTDNA surname projects support the study. Y-DNA discoveries have resulted in her research expanding into Hingerton and Ingerton world-wide and Harrington in Ireland.

    Chris is a regular presenter for The Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG) as well as other family history groups. She is the Lead for the SAG Genetic Genealogy Advisory Group and a member of the SAG Board.

    In this session Chris will explore the ways Y-DNA has enriched and expanded her Hingerty One Name study as well as showcasing other surname case studies she has been involved in over the past few years.
