KINNICK One-Name Study registered with global Guild

... and Update 

We previously reported officially starting a KINNICK (with KENNICK variant) one-name study at the "Kinnick One-Name Study Wiki" - a collaborative platform for multiple person input and global access.

1. We have now taken the next step and registered at and joined the global "Guild of One-Name Studies" so that anyone around the world who undertakes research on the KINNICK surname (or the KENNICK variant) will be able to know we are here and interested in sharing research as well as sharing contact with them.

2. The KINNICK DNA Project is also alive and well, seeking additional DNA tests of Kinnick descendants at Family Tree DNA to strengthen the growing database to compare with other potential family members around the globe. We especially seek yDNA37 tests from the direct male lines but also welcome Family Finder Testing and Full mtDNA Testing the Project, as well. Thank you for your participation.

3. Updates have recently been made to the KINNICK branches of both the FamilySearch Family Tree and the WikiTree Family Tree online. These are the two 'universal' trees in which we are actively participating. You are welcome and encouraged to view and comment on either or both, of course.

4. The "2003 Kinnick Genealogy Book" Online recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.

5. Comments below, or to email: billsmith2003 at gmail.com, are requested and welcome. My mother was a KINNICK, for those who may be newly arriving at The KINNICK Project. Welcome! ;-)


Families are Forever!  ;-)

Kinnick One-Name Study Underway - contact with Kinnick surnamed persons sought

Kinnick One-Name Study Underway

Working from this "The Kinnick Project" blog, in recognition of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the "2003 Kinnick Online Genealogy Book", we have undertaken an official "Kinnick One-Name Study" to be conducted via the collaborative "Kinnick One-Name Research Wiki."

All interested Kinnick descendants are invited to read the home page of the wiki and apply for membership/register as a member. There is no fee, and registered members will be able to edit and other-wise contribute directly on the inter-active Research Wiki website, at their option. Participation is encouraged.

If you do not want to contribute, but desire to be certain that your family is included and/or just want to keep up with what is going on, please register at the wiki and/or send me an email note directly at:

billsmith2003 at gmail.com

Even though we may be in communication, from time to time, via the Kinnick-L mailing list, Facebook, or other media, I would appreciate a current contact from each person reading this who carries the Kinnick surname, so we can be sure you, and your family, are properly connected to this study.

My mother was a KINNICK, and loved to share that she was a KINNICK. Most all folks with the KINNICK surname are related (see comments on home page) so we are hoping to hear from a lot of cousins. Thank you!
