Merry Christmas from Oregon where we are having some devastating storms, but will pull out of it as usual. Aren't humans wonderful? They can go through horrible calamities and still keep going on. I just read of some of the things my grandfather went through - things I did not know about when I lived with him - and am amazed at the gentle, kind, loving person I knew. Happy New Year, everyone.

The 12 marker test results for 128544 have been returned. The results match Group A Apparent Ancestral Values. No other markers were ordered and the first 12 marker matches can fall apart with further testing. I do urge the participant to order an upgrade to 37 markers. Since this participant is a Kincaid I will place him in the Group A undetermined section. Sue Liedtke
I just got back from a very scary Christmas Eve Day trip to Portland from Newport, OR. The return trip to Newport was delayed by a day due to the unprecidented amount of snow and ice on the roads. Thank heavens our nice friendly rains are back. We seldom have snow stay around beyond a few days (this bout lasted 10 days) so have little snow removal equipment. Nothing gets plowed so 8-10 inch berms on the sides of the ruts along with golfball size ice rocks formed by chains make driving really treacherous. On Christmas Day the Portland Oregonian Newspaper had as the lead story in the O section a description of a Pioneer Christmas. The text was from a story written by a lady named Barbara in 1950. She was the daughter of Thomas and Nancy Chadric Kincaid. Thomas is the grandson of Thomas/Hannah Tincher Kincaid. The story of the Kincaid's first Christmas (1853) in Oregon was told to Barbara by her mother. The artical may still be available on the Oregonian's Web site. It is interesting reading.
