  We present first results from follow-up of targets in the northern hemisphere
Beta Pictoris and AB Doradus moving group candidate list of Schlieder, Lepine,
and Simon (2012). We obtained high-resolution, near-infrared spectra of 27
candidate members to measure their radial velocities and confirm consistent
group kinematics. We identify 15 candidates with consistent predicted and
measured radial velocities, perform analyses of their 6-dimensional
(U,V,W,X,Y,Z) Galactic kinematics, and compare to known group member
distributions. Based on these analyses, we propose that 7 Beta Pic and 8 AB Dor
candidates are likely new group members. Four of the likely new Beta Pic stars
are binaries; one a double lined spectroscopic system. Three of the proposed AB
Dor stars are binaries. Counting all binary components, we propose 22 likely
members of these young, moving groups. The majority of the proposed members are
M2 to M5 dwarfs, the earliest being of type K2. We also present preliminary
parameters for the two new spectroscopic binaries identified in the data, the
proposed Beta Pic member and a rejected Beta Pic candidate. Our candidate
selection and follow-up has thus far identified more than 40 low-mass, likely
members of these two moving groups. These stars provide a new sample of nearby,
young targets for studies of local star formation, disks and exoplanets via
direct imaging, and astrophysics in the low-mass regime.
