    Hi Eric, looks like it's subclade H6 of Haplogroup H. I am actually waiting for the results of a full genomic sequence test to confirm that.

    Something like 40% of "native" Europeans fall into Haplogroup H. Here is a paper on the subclades:

    This website (if you don't know about it already) has some info on Hegartys from Cork.

    She has her database on rootsweb, and it's quite extensive!

    Eric, I remember you and wonderful to hear from you.  It's probably been nearly 2 years.  Are you talking about what is on ancestry.com or something else?

     

    Since I've talked to you I've launched this website:  http://www.corkgen.org.  It's become a dumping ground for leftover research.  I have been busy doing tithe applotment transcriptions for the area, with ambitions to eventually cover all of southwest Cork so I can eventually do some surname distribution studies, and maybe even first name with surname distribution studies.  Tithe applotments are here: http://www.corkgen.org/publicgenealogy/cork/titheapplot

     

    Also, I took the Family Finder test at Family Tree DNA in March of 2010.  Although I haven't conclusively established a link to them (likely because we just don't have records that go back far enough), there are about three people I've been in touch with whose roots are agonizingly close geographically.

     

    Since I have last talked to you, I know of at least 2 Hegartys who have married into my lines: 1) Ellen Hegarty married Andrew McCarthy of Lissane, Caheragh.  Andrew's brother Charles was my ggg-grandfather.  2) Granddad's brother Denis married Mary Ellen Hegarty of Bluid (Castlehaven?).  Denis died quite young.  Their son John Joe Collins still lives there.  3) From rom an old deed dated 1803 -  Denis Collins a farmer in Lissane witnessed a landlord-tenant agreement for Mr. Edmond Nagle of Myross and Cornelius Hegarty of Derryclough (that would be in Drinagh).  Cornelius had sons Luke and Peter. 

     

    If you have any Cork genealogy links you like, send them my way and I'll add them to my pages if I don't already have them.
