About us
The Hingerty YDNA Project welcomes all males with the surnames Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton who have taken a BigY700, STR or Family Finder test at FTDNA.
The surnames in this DNA Project are researched as part of the Hingerty surname study, which is registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies.

A Y DNA test tells you about your direct male line, which would be your father, his father, and back in time. You must be male to take this test, and you should have one of the surnames shown.
If you believe there is a Hingerty, Hingerton, Ingerton or variant in your direct male line, although you have a different surname, you are also welcome to participate.
If you are female, you will need to find a direct line male in your family tree to participate and represent your tree.
We encourage Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton males to order a Y-DNA test for 111 markers, if possible. If you order less markers, you can upgrade later, though this costs a little more.

The 'gold standard' is the BigY700 test.
If you have taken a Family Finder test at FTDNA or uploaded your atDNA raw data from other companies such as Ancestry, My Heritage or 23and Me to FTDNA and have been assigned a YDNA Haplogroup, you are welcome to join the project.
We have also established a General Fund, to accept donations in any currency via credit card. These funds will be held at the testing company, and used to help sponsor test kits for those key males who would otherwise be unable to afford the cost of participation in the project.
