Hollingsworth Family DNA Project


Objective

Our objective is identification of all of the Hollingsworth/Hollingworth/Hollandsworth families worldwide.

First, we are concentrating on identifying Hollingsworth families who have been in the US since 1800.

We believe that there are 6 such families descending from: Richard of MA (which has probably died out in male lines), John of Surry County, VA, John of Kent County, MD, Charles of Queen Anne's County, MD (and probably earlier of Northampton County, VA), George of Baltimore County, MD, and Valentine of New Castle County, DE.

We encourage descendants of unidentified Hollingsworth lines that settled in the US before 1800 to submit dna samples for comparisons.

Second, before 1650 Hollingsworths/Hollingworths were found in many parts of England and Ireland. Apparently, all of these Hollingsworths/Hollingworths do not have a common ancestor. We intend to utilize dna testing to determine the relationships among the sundry Hollingsworth/Hollingworth/Hollandsworth families of the United Kingdom/Ireland/the United States/Canada/Australia.

We also encourage descendants of the various European Holling(s)worth lines to join us.

How to Join

They will be happy to answer any questions and to send you a "join authorization" to enable you to join the Hollingsworth Group DNA Project and to order your dna test kit at a reduced group price.

Family Tree DNA

The Hollingsworth Group DNA Project is on-line at the FamilytreeDNA website (http://www.familytreedna.com). FamilyTreeDNA is providing the DNA research service and the analysis is being conducted at the University of Arizona. Please visit the above website for additional information.

Hollingsworth Family Project Update (5/11/08)

All lineages noted in this update are those submitted by the participants and are stated by them to be correct (or probable in some cases). I do not verify or certify the accuracy of these lineages. It is my policy (not the policy of the Hollingsworth Surname DNA Project) to list the earliest ancestor as it is submitted by the participant unless it can be verified to be incorrect or not proven. For future genealogy research, all lineages (including dates and locations) listed in this update should be considered no more than "probable" until actually proven by the future researcher.

=================================================================================================

(3) Descendants of a family that includes VALENTINE Hollingsworth (b. 1632) County Armagh, Ireland, JAMES Hollingsworth (b. c1811) Ballycanew, County Wexford, Ireland, NICHOLAS Hollingsworth, b. 1762 Ballinakill, County Wexford, Ireland and JOHN Hollingsworth b. 1778/79 County Wicklow, Ireland *

Thomas James Hollingsworth of James (b. 1811) of Ballycanew, County Wexford, Ireland (25/25) (35/37) (64/67).
Don Hollingsworth descendant of Nicholas Hollingsworth, b. 1762 Ballinakill, County Wexford, d. 1826, Ballycanew, County Wexford, Ireland (25/25) (63/67).
William (Bill) J. Hollingsworth descendant of Robert (b. 1916 Liverpool d. 1989 Dublin m. Anna Mary (Nan) Bullard) of John (b. 1876 Co. Wicklow, Ireland d. 1957 Liverpool m. 1906 Mary Murphy) of Daniel (b. 1848 Co. Wicklow d. 1913 Co. Wicklow m. Anne Byrne) of William (b. c1800 Cronelusk d. 1871 Co. Wicklow m. Elizabeth Hempenstall) of John (b. 1778/1779 Co. Wicklow d. 1864 Co. Wicklow) of Daniel (b. c1730 d. 1811 Co. Wexford m. Ellenor ....possibly Spottiswoode?) of Samuel (b. c1710 d. 1799 Co. Wexford) believed to be the son of Thomas (b. 1678) (12/12).

It is believed that Thomas (b. c1678) had at least two sons, John (b. 1713) and Samuel (b.c1710 - Bill's ancestor). John (b. 1713) had at least two sons, Nicholas Henry James (b. 1762 - Don's ancestor and Samuel (b. 1767 - Tom's ancestor). Tom has spent many years researching this family and although the records are not totally intact, these lineages are believed to be correct based on a combination of documents, family histories, and articles contained in the "Hollingsworth Register" by the late Harry Hollingsworth. However, it must be noted that the earliest portion of these lineages is not "proven" by actual documentation.

* We believe James (b.1811), Nicholas (b. 1762) and John (b. 1778/79) are descendants of an unidentified brother, uncle or cousin of Valentine, Sr. who did not migrate to America with Valentine. Thomas and Don match 66/67 markers.

Hyplogroup H - Specific mitochondrial haplogroups are typically found in different regions of the world, and this is due to unique population histories. In the process of spreading around the world, many populations-with their special mitochondrial haplogroups-became isolated, and specific haplogroups concentrated in geographic regions. Today, we have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and even particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to recent migration.

Mitochondrial haplogroup H is a predominantly European haplogroup that originated outside of Europe before the last glacial maximum (LGM). It first expanded in the northern Near East and southern Caucasus between 33,000 and 26,000 years ago, and later migrations from Iberia suggest it reached Europe before the LGM. It has also spread to Siberia and Inner Asia. Today, about 40% of all mitochondrial lineages in Europe are classified as haplogroup H.

The mitochondrial haplogroup J contains several sub-lineages. The original haplogroup J originated in the Near East approximately 50,000 years ago. Within Europe, sub-lineages of haplogroup J have distinct and interesting distributions. Haplogroup J1b is found distributed in the Near East and southern Iberia, and may have been part of the original colonization wave of Neolithic settlers moving around the Mediterranean 6000 years ago or perhaps a lineage of Phoenician traders. Within haplogroup J1b, a derivative lineage haplogroup J1b1 has been found in Britain and another sub-lineage detected in Italy. Further research will better establish the relationship of these two geographically distant, yet evolutionarily related, haplogroups.

The L2a mitochondrial haplogroups are typically found in different regions of the world, and this is due to unique population histories. In the process of spreading around the world, many populations-with their special mitochondrial haplogroups-became isolated, and specific haplogroups concentrated in geographic regions. Today, we have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and even particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to recent migration.

Part of the L cluster of haplogroups, which has been concretely characterized as representing the original human mitochondrial lineage, haplogroup L2a is found in Africa. This haplogroup dates to approximately 55,000 years ago, and is detected in highest frequency in north, west, and central Africa. Future work will further document the historical distribution of this haplogroup and closely related haplogroups of the L cluster.

The mitochondrial haplogroup T is best characterized as a European lineage. With an origin in the Near East greater than 45,000 years ago, the major sub-lineages of haplogroup T entered Europe around the time of the Neolithic 10,000 years ago. Once in Europe, these sub-lineages underwent a dramatic expansion associated with the arrival of agriculture in Europe. The origin of haplogroup T1 dates to at least 6,000 years ago, and today, we find haplogroup T1 distributed in populations living in southeast, central, and northwestern Europe.

Haplogroup U5a1a - The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1 - U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup U5, with its own multiple lineages nested within, is the oldest European-specific haplogroup, and its origin dates back to approximately 50,000 years ago. Most likely arising in the Near East, and spreading into Europe in a very early expansion, the presence of haplogroup U5 in Europe pre-dates the expansion of agriculture in Europe. Haplogroup U5a1a - a lineage within haplogroup U5 - arose in Europe less than 20,000 years ago, and is mainly found in the northwest and north-central Europe. The modern distribution of haplogroup U5a1a suggests that individuals bearing this haplogroup were a part of the populations that had tracked the retreat of ice sheets from Europe.

Haplogroup W is derived from the N superhaplogroup, which dates to approximately 65,000 years ago. The origin of haplogroup W dates to approximately 25,000 years ago, and it is mainly found distributed in west Eurasia (or Europe). It is likely that individuals bearing this lineage participated in the expansion into the bulk of Europe following the Last Glacial Maximum. Future work, including obtaining more samples from central Asia, will further refine the historical distribution of this haplogroup and better determine the role it played in the peopling of Europe.
