DNA paternity testing

[Cycledude]

I have contacted an attorney that is helping but he has run into the same roadblocks of no one closer than a cousin living.
Dont really want to exhume his remains.
Im sure she is his child since my great uncle kept all of her mothers correspondence and carried her picture in his wallet. He tried to marry the mother numerous times but she refused
This is one of those family secrets that comes to light when your cleaning out the house that he lived.
Will check on the facebook reference.
Thanks.
And my apologies for my earlier uncalled for rant. Im just trying to help her know for sure he was her father.

I am hopeful that both you and the daughter will eventually be able to confirm who actually was the father.

I'm puzzled by people who complain about non tractor related threads yet click into those very threads in Related Topics?

Perhaps they read the thread title and thought someone was now cloning dearly beloved tractors?

One of those old IH tractors? If you say it was a Massey I may have to claim him as my long lost brother!!!

585 International. Like the old MFs myself had a few.

Out of curiously, is this for 1st cousins? In other words, does the person you are doing this for have any living 1st cousins? Just to be clear, children of your great uncle's brothers or sisters. This wasn't clear from the OP.

I did some reading and that is really the furthest they will go. I found a couple of sites online that do cousin testing where they offer a 3 person tests. I assume it is more accurate if there is DNA from more than 2 people.

I have a feeling if that can't be managed then you're looking at digging people up.

Submit HER DNA to Ancestry.com which will auto-magically build out a tree with other potentially more closely related individuals that she doesn't currently know about. Then there is a potential to contact THOSE matches through the service. 6 degrees of separation kind of thing

Yes there are first cousins that could be tested but everyone that has been contacted so far has said they cant verify with cousins.

I have no idea if these companies are any good or not, just what I found when searching

I can testify that I sent my DNA to Ancestry.com and set up an account.

They always send me notifications that they found people who are my distant relatives.
Some of them are into genealogy and can provide even more info.

Ancestry.com knew that my 2nd cousin (my grandma’s brother’s granddaughter) were related from our DNA.

Just because I was curious about our ancestries I had DNA tests done on my wife and myself. One on her two on me. As time goes by the DNA companies get more samples and revise their estimate of where our families came from. She looks a bit Italian and I don't. Last time we checked she shared no markers with Italians and I did.

#6 was referring to #2, I'm pretty sure.

May have some of that uncle- daddy going on. I know it happens around here in them thar hills.

You are not getting mine . . .

My father-in-law was stationed in San Diego during the war. My wife's DNA test turned up a son he began just before leaving for home. My wife and her siblings didn't know about the child and I don't think their father did, either.

Kevin Bacon might be a cousin.

Something like that is how my wife learned about her half-brother.

Where’s that :hissyfit: emojicon when I need it?

It’s not the same. That and the :stirthepot: gif were unique to TBN, and irreplaceable.
I know, time moves on...

ahh yes, the icons from the old TBN format are missed.

I "hacked" my shin on my grapple, again, yesterday. Spread a little DNA on that darn tooth. But, then again, I know all the relatives I want to know.

Went too far back on my fathers side once. Seems they were all highwaymen. And, I don't mean repairing asphalt roads.

I know where my family heritage lies.
I don't need more info.
I remember a man in Florida with the same rare name as mine.
He was doing a family tree and had just found me and needed more information. What I could tell him is that my family tree had a lot of crooked and broken branches. I elaborated a little as best I could.
Seem my grandmother was actually my great grandmother. My aunt was my grandmother.
There were a lot of philanderers in my family but what can you expect from people that sold wine and liquor to Nazis and Allies, at the same time.

 

[ROUSTABOUT]

ok I have nothing to help but I have an observation in post #1 it is a HER and in post #6 it is a HIS. Maybe there is more to the story.

Maybe it's an it. Maybe a he/she...
