The Kin-strife was a civil war in Gondor, between the rightful son of the king and some decendents of an earlier king, who didn't like the rightful king because his mom wasn't of Númenorean descent. The son of the king eventually won and the losers went off to Umbar, which explains why the Corsairs of Umbar don't like Gondor in the LotR. The Kin-strife is told of in Appen. A of LotR, under part (iv) "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion."
