My best bet would be to post this request on the Dyfed Rootsweb email list. Otherwise, the only things that are worth doing is posting a message in the Dyfed FHS Journal repeating your offer of a free DNA test, or calling them up at random! Most folk do not like doing that, but it can work, as long as you take the time to talk folk through once you have their email address. The Anglo-Norman connection between Pembrokeshire and Devon / Cornwall can be traced back to at least the 12th century.

I'm trying to find a Pembrokeshire Sinnett to DNA test (have even offered a free test via ISOGG), as I have already found the the Cornish SENNETTs are a sufficiently close match to the Co Wexford Sinnotts to suggest a common ancestor, and as the Irish Sinnotts appear to have come to Ireland via Pembrokeshire, it would surprise me more if they weren't of the same anglo-norman genetic stock.
