Mary- The Kincaid-list DNA test results would be most interesting. You see discussions of it here. It is simple and painless: swab the special little wands on the inside of the cheeks, replace them in the special test tubes, send in to Family Tree DNA and wait 6-8 weeks. Financial help is available if you need it. BTW, my brother (born 1953) is John Robert Kinkead. My brick wall is Mary (Land) Kinkead d.1795 in Westmoreland Co, PA, which is why I'm watching Norman's research closely. I'm certain that her husband, my gggggf David Kinkead, was somehow related to the Kinkead clan there, which is why he moved there from Burlington, NJ, to begin with.
