Hi Debbie, I can understand that,it is nice to meet family and see their pictures if you have never met,in fact it is great to see what others look like and search for a family resemblance,but you gotta understand, we all do look different, thank the lord for that, and we can see in some family resemblances in some or all of us if we look hard enough,after all we are the melting pot of the great USA and other areas,even our DNA tells where we have been , where we are ,we could be any denomation. Isn't that great , a melting pot, that is what we are. I have been very lucky, I have met some of my Kincaid, Kincaide, Kinkeade,Kinkade, Kincade cousins in person and we do still stay in contact just about every day, I would not have not came as far as I have if it had not been for them and in us sharing our family information, but then this is a great bunch here on the Kincaid List and are willing to go out of their way in helping one another, that is what family is for to help one another in the best way they can,even though you can't reach out and give one another a hug when you would like to or shake a hand, we can always share what we have with you and many others. For instance there are 3 of us who live here in Kentucky, one of us lives in Indiana, we have family in Georgia, Texas,Massachusetts, just about here there and yonder,but that doesn't matter where we live at.......we are all have that one name in common we are a descendant of a Kincaid of any spelling and all spelling.

I am overwhelmed in trying to connect through letters. Many of you seem to have met through different Kincaid events that have occurred over the years. Or you are heavily versed in your genealogy. I am only moderately versed in my genealogy and my particular line of the Kincaid family tree has suffered great losses to the point that my sister, brother and I are the only surviving descendents of our generation going back to our Great-great grandfather. It makes connecting in seem even that much more remote. I am an experiential learner, so I do better if I can 'meet' people. Even this little bit of facebook exposure for me has allowed me to 'meet' Don and Ruth in much more personal fashion than I would have ever managed in 5 years of reading correspondence in a group setting. I'm looking forward to meeting Dick, Mary Louise, Karen and Meredith as well. I am endeavoring to take very serio! : usly my responsibility to protect the group from anyone that would not belong. I just tested how vulnerable the facebook group will leave you. I tested you, Dick. :) I can see your profile picture, and if I click on you I am given the option to invite you as a friend, send you a message, or view your friends. I can do that to any stranger on facebook. I could not see your birthdate, personal info or pictures, or even if you have those listed on your facebook. I have posted 5 pictures on the group site. I did not post them lightly, because anyone on the group can copy them. Maybe I'm too trusting, but I want to meet you guys. Besides, there is nothing in my posts that can't be found in a newspaper search. : : Debby : : -----Original Message----- : From: C PHurley <cphurley@roadrunner.com> : To: kincaid@rootsweb.com : Sent: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 6:02 pm : Subject: Re: [KINCAID] facebook -kincaid group-facebook : : : : Debbie, : I'm really not sure about joining something like this, : I would not like anyone to intercept any of my family : information unless I choose for them to do so, and : from the way it looks you would have to be {pass : word protected} to keep this from happening.There : are a lot of kooks out there just looking to pick up : on information and start harassing others. : : We don't have that here, we have a "great group" here : and we all seem to get along great.Yes there are a few : of us who do have some temper tantrums some times, : but like children we ignore them until they calm down : (SMILE) but that is the way it is with such a large family : and group as we are. : : Although I do have several web pages with family : information and pictures, there is nothing there to : connect anyone with any of my personal info. : : No birthdates and so forth, someone with knowledge : of a computer system or a computer geek can get just : about anything they want when they want it,so anyway : for some reason or another I think I will stay right here : at Rootsweb, for some unknown reason I feel protected : here.But we will see how things go with you and Facebook : and see what happens, do let me know, okay? : : Connie : *In Beautiful Western Kentucky* : DNA Kincaid # 3350 Group A set 2 b : DNA Knight #N38010 : ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ : Connie's Links-Lots of Links-Try Them : www.angelfire.com/ky2/connie/Links.html : ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ : (\o/) Mothers are simply angels without their wings. : /_\ ~Unknown Author~ : : Browse the KINCAID archives : http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/?list=KINCAID : Browse the KINCAID archives : http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/KINCAID/ : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: <gregndebbypotter@aol.com> : To: <kincaid@rootsweb.com> : Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 11:09 AM : Subject: [KINCAID] facebook / kincaid group : : :: Some time ago, somebody was suggesting a facebook for the Kincaids.
