I really don't think a duplication of DNA numbers would be necessary as it is already being hosted by Alice Gedge on Rootsweb. Plus, I would hesitate in making this too big too fast. I would respectfully suggest that we just leave it as a place where we can post our own photo so that we can see what each other looks like and also post some Kincaid/Kinkade ancestor photos if possible.

However, I know all those people personally, and I did not have an extremely large graduating class! :) I am very interested that you have worked with facebook and also studied it. Would you care to be listed as an administrator of the site as well? You would be far more familiar with the Kincaids and be of great help discerning who we would want to allow in the group. Right now, I'm not particularly fond of the idea of having it open to just anyone and everyone, since we will probably want to post pictures and (as you have suggested) DNA info. By the way, I wouldn't know how to set up a space for the dna numbers and participants. However, I can try to figure it out. Thanks for your response! Debby -----Original Message----- From: Don W.

I had been leery of Facebook but recently had a friend start up a class group Facebook and sent me an invite to join so I went to Wikipedia and read up on what is is and isn't and now feel it can be a good thing if the administrator does not let it get out of control.

In your facebook, search this group--Kincaid Ancestry Family Group. I've set the group up as a closed group, so that members will have to go through the admin to join it. I don't know if we'll want to keep the group that way, but?I thought it best to start out like that and open it up if it seems less cumbersome later. Do you want new members to give a brief synopsis of how they tie in (or think they tie in?). For me it would be Debby Potter, Virginia (Whorton) Frelander-Pendo, Helen (Kincaid) Whorton, William T. Kincaid, George F. Kincaid, Thomas Kincaid, James Kincaid, Andrew Kincaid. There are family tree applications that also might be fun to try and figure out. When you join the group, we'll have to see if it forces you to join through my personal facebook or not. If it does, I will probably just set up a whole new facebook account under my name and set up the group over again. As it is, with my HS class group, I am getting a VERY bus! y ! facebook already, and I don't think that I will necessarily want everyone that joins the kincaid group as my personal 'friends' (you know what I mean?). It just gets to be so many messages, I'd rather visit the group site as well and get to know people as I have them join my personal facebook. Let me know your thoughts...

I'm on facebook (no photo yet) and one does not need to be concerned about viruses. I think it's a great idea Debby - please go for it. I'll even get a photo up on mine for it - if I can find one that makes me look half way decent. Ruth Cherecwich In a message dated 12/30/2008 9:50:39 A.M.

Maybe he used a different service, but I distinctly remember him bringing up the subject then, and referring to it at least once since.
