A genealogical DNA test examines specific locations in a person's genetic material to determine their ancestral ethnicity and genealogical relationships. The results provide information about the ethnic groups the test subject may have descended from and other individuals they might be related to.

To take a genealogical DNA test, one must submit a DNA sample, usually collected through a cheek-swab. Once collected, the sample is sent to a testing lab. It's important to note that genealogical DNA tests do not provide information about medical conditions or diseases.

The Kincaid DNA project includes over 200 members from North America, the British Isles, Australia, and Holland. Through this project, five distinct family trees have been identified.

More than half of the participants can be linked to one of ten sub-families descending from a single ancient unknown male. Additionally, about 20% of the participants are descendants of another unrelated unknown male. In some regions, genetically unrelated Kincaids live alongside each other.

A chart is maintained for every Kincaid DNA project member's results, grouped by mutations, to determine their closest relatives. You can find this chart and more information about the project on the Kincaid DNA project website: www.kincaiddna.org.
