Multiple GFCI’s resetting on multiple circuits in kitchen.

I have an idea.

If a crossed neutral (grounded conductor) is unlikely. I would check for a neutral to egc connection.

Kill power to all affected circuits, disconnect the grounded conductors at the panel, and check every receptacle outlet to ensure you don't have continuity between neutral and ground.
 
It is all in romex, I disconnected both circuits completely, BRWG on both and checked, there is no continuity unless it is intermittent and just not coming up when not energized.
 
What I'm thinking is objectionable current taking all available paths could (maybe?) affect multiple GFCIs on different circuits if the effective ground fault current path bonding spans both circuits?
Just a W.A.G.
 
Don't know then,. Did anyone recently hang a picture or otherwise put a screw or nail in the wall?

I am pretty sure I found the issue for the existing problem circuit, there was a receptacle that was covered up that had a metal mud ring with wire terminals that weren’t tightened down and were likely shorting out on the mud ring. That still has me confused as to why they were tripping an entirely different circuit’s gfcis.
 
I wouldn't assume anything, you're assuming that the covered up receptacle was the problem.

Have you tried turning off every circuit in the house except the 2 circuits you are having issues with? And does it still trip under this condition?
 
I fixed that and it is not tripping now. The circuits have been holding since yesterday. If there is another issue I am going to bring my megger and do some deeper testing on each wire. Powering down the house except the two circuits isn’t a bad idea, but there was no continuity between the wires when they were completely disconnected to each other or the bonded wires. If it ends up taking too much time though, I am going to just rewire the locations.
 
Make certain some other circuit didn't get mixed into this one somehow.

Any box that contains this plus other circuits has that possibility. Some foreign load that ties into the neutral of this circuit could trip a GFCI on this circuit. Any direct connection of a GFCI protected neutral to another grounded/grounding conductor should trip the GFCI immediately and basically not let you reset it as GFCI receptacles have neutral-ground fault detection circuitry in them so whatever is going on is apparently not a constant direct connection if it holds part of the time. That said if the ungrounded load side conductor should fault to same supply "phase" it won't trip the branch breaker but should still trigger same conditions that will trip the GFCI receptacle via the neutral - ground fault detection circuitry.
