Don, I have been contacted by a descendant of James Kincaid/Margaret Wyatt about a DNA test for her uncle. We do not have a participant from James Kincaid in the DNA test and this would be great to have to prove that he is a brother to John Kincaid/Nancy Young and Thomas Kincaid/Martha Wyatt. I emailed her and told her that I would pass on the information to you so that you can contact her to tell her what they need to do to get the test. Her name is Kelly Kincaid and her email is thatblondechick77@yahoo.com. Thanks. Meredith Kincaid On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 12:50 PM , Don W.

Thanks Meredith! We have sent Kelly information on the Kincaid DNA Project and look forward to Kelly's male Kincaid joining. We have a new participant as a result of the story in the LA Times and have several others considering joining who read the story. We still have a lot of areas we could use more participants in to help clear up kinship between lines. We visited via phone with the grandparents of Kurt Kincaid who is a freshman at La Crosse University in Wisconsin. Kurt is 6' 6" and a great shooter, having made 6 of 7 3 point shots in the last game. Douglas Kincaid, the grandfather, said his line of Kincaid's came from Breathitt & Lee County, Kentucky to Wisconsin. Anyone who wants to read the story go to http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles/2009/02/15/sports/03colrdp.txt We regularly contact Kincaid's in the news in hopes of finding some who will benefit from the Kincaid DNA testing and use Google's search feature to send us links to stories about Kincaid's in the news. Normally the stories are good news like the one for Kurt but one day last week every story was about Kincaid's in trouble with the law in some way. I am glad that was a one time affair!
