Hello everyone, Don Kincaid has really done a top notch job in pushing forward the new aspect of dna testing for genealogical purposes. Thanks to him, and to John Kincaid, for participating in the Big Y project at FTDNA we now have six named Kincaid snps common to both of them. They are: R-FGC1389 R-A321 R-A323 R-Z1370.2 R-A322 and R-A326 The first four are available now for testing at YSEQ at: http://shop.yseq.net/index.php?manufacturers_id=34&sort=2a&filter_id=1 YSEQ is a recent startup company by Thomas Krahn, who was formerly the main geneticist with Family Tree DNA. For those interested in this testing, there is currently a sale on with YSEQ. Until Fathers Day, one can order snps for $25 US each. This price highlights the objective for going down this route. At some point, future Kincaids will be able find out if they belong to Group A Kincaids for as little as $25US. We are not there yet as we are not certain if the above six snps are common to all Group A Kincaids. Only some should be. It is only after more Group A Kincaids test that we will be able to say which applies to which cluster of Kincaids. The reality is that any present Group A Kincaids testing will not learn anything new about themselves. They will simply be a pioneer with this and help future Kincaid testers. If any Group A participants are curious enough to participate, then my suggestion for order is Z1370.2, FGC1389, A321, A323. If you participate then please let me or Don know. Best wishes!
