Agreed. This is why I asked what the initials stood for since the wording of the various Kincaid men did not sound like original documents. I am a stickler for original documents.

For example, I am pretty sure that K.F.R. is the Kincaid Family Researches publication put out by Clan Kincaid a number of years ago. There were a lot of undocumented or made up claims made in this which some treated like fact (ie. the four sons of Alexander Kincaid, Lord Provost of Edinburgh). Always check the sources and if they are not an actual record, they are not a reliable source. Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don W.
