Kincaid's, Perhaps someone can help David who just joined the Kincaid DNA project. He may be able to help some of us also since he has done a lot of N. Ireland research for 30 years! Morning David, I was in the process of writing a note to you when your email came in. We are happy to have you join our project. In looking at your matches your results are very unusual to have so many Kincaid's of some spelling in your exact 12 marker matches and genetic distance of 1 for 12 markers and then none for your 25, 37 & 67 markers. The 12 marker test is not worth very much in determining family lineage but with so many Kincaid 12 marker matches it is unusual there are not some in the 25 & up results. It looks like you have 42 exact matches with participants in the Kincaid project at 12 markers. You also have 11 matches with Kincaid's at a genetic distance of 1. There is a very active Roots web Kincaid discussion list which we will forward your email to which may result in getting some help on your line. We are very interested in N. Ireland Kincaid's of all spellings and would very much like to have copies of any Kincaid of any spelling documents you have for N. Ireland. If you want to join the Kincaid list go to http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/surname/k/kincaid.html You can also search the archives from this page. Don W.

You may find it odd that I am joining the Kincaid family project but I have learned that I am matching a lot of Kincaids and I am hoping that just maybe I will find a link with that name. It's not as crazy as it might sound. I have always strongly suspected from my research that my Jacksons are connected to a prominent Jackson family in Coleraine, Northern Ireland (where my family is from) who had a coat of arms and therefore have a long and well documented pedigree. I have seen first hand where, say a Mr. Jackson would marry a Miss Kincaid and they have a son. They realize that Miss Kincaid's family has a lot of land and a lot of money at stake with no male heirs in the Kincaid line so that Mr. and Mrs. Jackson gives their son the last name of Kincaid. I am a 30-year genealogy veteran and would like an opportunity to learn more about possible Kincaid cousins. David Jackson

I counted 16 sites in 67 where the DNA does not match our Group A Apparent Ancestral Value. Group A is your 12/12 match. Several of the sites have several step descrepancies. That is a lot unless the connection was much, much earlier than 1700. Group A seems to be quite consistent with a few significant mutations and some scattered mutations that appear to be of later origin. No one has near 16 sites with variances. We know the line originated in Scotland and suspect that if there is a connection it would be well before migration to Ireland. Sue Liedtke ----- Original Message ----- From: Don W.
