I've recently become curious that a deceased relation, previously assumed to be born to british parents in the 1910's, may be of Australian descent. Would it be possible to carry out DNA testing from any of her belongings, e.g hair remains, combs, etc.. I'm assuming that the cremated remains do not contain any useful teeth fragments.

annie 05/08/2020 at 9:11 pm

My family has possible history of a Native American marriage we are trying to trace. The woman in question died in 1946 and is buried in a cemetery in New York. Would it be possible to get a sample from her grave for DNA testing

Nicola 29/06/2020 at 7:39 pm

Hi My Mother has been informed her twin brother has passed away, can we have a DNA test done to confirm the deceased person is actually her brother and if so how do we go about obtaining permission to have a DNA test carried out?
We are in Scotland and my uncles remains are in England.

My grandpa passed away years ago. I was needing a way to take a DNA test with him to prove I was related to him. I don’t know if it’s even possible now to take that DNA sample

My daughter passed away more than 12 years ago and her father finally came around but says he’s still skeptical is there any way we can find out if he’s the father? Maybe hospital records or something. She wasn’t cremated but buried.

My wife of 30 years was wrongfully convicted of trumped up charges from the prosecution no evidence at all, she had seizures and kept telling me that they was changing medication on her frequently and making her sick I’m afraid she was being used as a lab rat on testing well long story short she has died would not let me see her just ashes my question can I have test done to see if it is really her or not I need to know do they still have her locked up doing research or not this is playing with me I need closer or her what is my best route for this thanks

Why is a building called a building if it’s already built?

Joe 13/01/2020 at 10:30 pm

One sunny day joe was in a great mood. Bob saw him from the other side of the room. But little did he know he was a horny bastard. Joe felt something go inside him. Bob was behind him. He started moving his hips harder and faster. You could see the excitement on joe’s face.”what are you doing bob” said joe. Bob just moved faster in silence. Joe started to scream and yell, but it wasn’t just because he was in pain but because he loved it. They did this for several minutes. And all of a sudden bob stopped, he was tired and breathing hard. Joe felt something warm and slimy in him. Bob said “ that it”. He pulled his pants back up and left. Joe’s legs were shaking but he pulled his pants up to he tried to walk but his legs were sore. Days later bob committed suicide and joe was devastated. And here I am seeing if I could clone him with his dna. I just want that fat cock in me again.

I would like to know if it is possible to do DNA testing, of a 1916 sample of blood, which was smeared on the front and back covers and several pages of my grandfathers bible, when he was shot in WW1. I am particularly interested in a full sequence, YDNA test of SPRs and SNPs. If so, how would I go about it and whom would I send it too. Thanks in advance.

I need some answer...my son died 24 years ago, August 6,1995, he was born July 29,1995, I just have doubts in my mind, as Fabella Hospital in Santa Cruz Manila, they were known of selling babies, exchanging or swapping kids in this Hospital, I got questions in my mind if that was truly my son they said have died and we buried them, is it possible for us to get sample of him and have him tested?, if how much it will cost us?
Very sincerely,
Mrs. Mayven Savory

My grandmother passed and I want to do a DNA-genealogical test. I did the 23 and me test and it was revealed I am 47percent Native American. I know this comes from my grand mother’s bloodline but want some certainties. They plan to cremate so I want to know if we do a blood extraction, hair or mouth swab, will that be enough to do testing to establish our bloodline before our option is gone forever.

Richie 25/06/2019 at 1:52 pm

My sister was adopted by my Aunty at a very young age. We met for the first time when I was 35 years old and she was 45 years. We were in touch till 2014 when my sister had passed away in India leaving all her property to me in her last and final Will.
I have been in Australia since 1968. I am the only living member of the family. How can I prove that we are brother and sister. My sister was buried in India. All I have is some documents, a diary etc. Items that she had handled. Would this be enough to have a DNA test to establish our relationship.

I had a dna sibling test done and there seem to be a problem with the test that the lab have not told me about yet and I know that my four kids belong to the decease father we was together 19 years and he was the only one I was with. So is the siblings test different then the parents dna testing

JR 22/05/2019 at 7:39 pm

After 47 years, I have requested the baby disinterred.
I know something else happened, because just before
the gas mask was forcefully put on by two nurses
I heard a baby cry, just before I was out.
No doctor, nurse told me the baby died, my parents did.
Next day Saturday 09, 1972 a woman with an apron came in and told me
to sign these papers; allot about 10 pages. She held her hand on the papers
and lifted each page to be signed. I never knew why I signed nor did
I get any copies when I was discharged. My parent told me that we will never speak of this again, what is done is done. This was after the funeral in which I was not allowed to go.I have finished my statement to the Funeral home so the request disinterment permit request. Everything else is the responsibility to find out and coordinate with the officials by me. I have research Forensic people in Albuquerque, New Mexico but do not know where to start.
State of New Mexico where this is going on.

Hello, my father died as a result of a fatal accident. He was struck and killed by several vehicles. I have his belongings. Some of which had his blood on the metal button and fabric. Would it be possible to swab those areas for DNA testing or is it too late to do that? This happened in February of 2019. The garment has been kept in a plastic evidence bag.

My mother died on 26 november 2019 n i couldn't see her funeral so i dont believe that she was dead i think she was in a state of coma or apparent death but she was burnt on 27 nov and now after 5 months i am only having her ashes. How can i find that was she really dead or she was alive when burnt.
I am studying medicine also n i found that no postmortem hypostasis and rigor mortis appeared even after 12 hours. The body was also fresh..plz give me a way to satisfy myself that she was dead before she was burnt.

Emilina C. 14/03/2019 at 9:02 pm

My uncle died in March 2017 and there is a probable theory that he was murdered by his wife due to the fact that his reason for being sent to the hospital was unknown. His wife knew he was deathly allergic to anesthetic medicine and she told the nurses to give it to him anyways. I was devastated to find out that my uncle's wife won the case and was not only able to burn his newest will before the court case, but was able to take valuable family possessions and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Please is there ANY way to prove there being poison in my uncle's 2 year old ashes??!!

Brat 09/03/2019 at 7:58 pm

My daughters father just died yesterday he hasn't been buried or cremated is there any way that we could still do a DNA test to prove he is my daughter's father please help

Tina 02/03/2019 at 8:02 am

I heard that my dad had to wait on being cremated, until there were at least 4 more bodies to fire up the incinerator. Is this even legal?

Kay 28/02/2019 at 5:31 pm

Can cremation ashes be tested to be sure the ashes are human and male? Except relatives took ashes without authority which had to be returned but now family are wondering if the ashes are infact our relative. Thank you for any info Kay S

treeleafer 12/02/2019 at 1:52 pm

Can I get a dna test done on a recently deceased family member? What would this involve and which companies would be able to do it? The family member was the last of his generation form both sets of his grandparents (around a hundred grandchildren) so his dna would be a valuable family history research resource revealing hidden dna matches to myself and my mother (both tested).

Dijah 22/12/2018 at 9:13 am

My son AIDEN passed away 2 days after birth cause of death: Trisomy 22 . His father still denies him and doesn’t acknowledge the fact of his very first child passing away. It may seem weird to some but I saved cotton swabs on my sons blood as it poured out of his nose and mouth during his death. I have it placed inside a plastic zip lock bag inside of his memory box . I also cut some strands of his hair. It’s been 2 years now and I’ve been searching on ways I can get a DNA test done. I know for a fact who his father is , but he made me look stupid which left me humiliated and he never once apologized. I just need closure. This is the only part that I can’t move on from without my proof in BLACK & WHITE!! Any suggestions?!

rosygirl4 16/12/2018 at 11:44 pm

Curious Dan 31/10/2018 at 9:19 pm

My father died in 1997 and I was secretly conceived and raised by my father’s bodyguard as his own child till my foster father died and revealed my identity on his death bed. My mother is alive and we reunited in the year 2011. Because my father was a head of state in my country, there is an air of mystery about his family life. My mother seems to have benefitted from my birth and inherited what was to be my inheritance. I made efforts to reason with her and made it clear that I want to have my name and birthright restored. On seeing my intentions, she cut me off from any contact with her. Now, I want to apply for change of name. My father’s DNA samples were stored by the government and my half brother secretly had a Paternity test done which was 99.9% but it’s legitimacy was questioned because it was done in private. Should I have a public paternity test with my father’s stored DNA? Will it yield results? Will my mother have a legal right to block such a test? Please help.

My father died 6 years ago I have a curl of his hair would I be able to use this for a DNA test?

Dee 24/10/2018 at 5:40 am

We lived in Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana where Hurricane Katrina made her first land fall. Weeks after the hurricane hit we were able to enter our parish. After finding we no longer had a home, we went to the cemetery to check our parents tomb. That’s when we saw that the marble door had been washed away. That day we saw many coffins that were washed out of tombs that the marble doors had washed away or broken off. We contacted the funeral home that our father’s funeral was held to see if they could tell us if one the the coffins were our dads. They told us that we would have to open each coffin and look at the remains. We decide that no one in our family could do that. Here it is 13 years later and we still don’t know if our dads coffin is one of the 7 or 8 still not buried. We were wondering if it was possible to have all of the coffins opened and dna test done to see of our dads remains are in one of the coffins? We (I) have a feeling in my gut that his coffin was washed out of the tomb when the door was washed away. And I am hoping that I can get some closer in knowing that I have done everything possible to find out. I just can’t have any of our family members be the one to open these coffins in case he is in one of them.
So I guess I need to find out if these is even possible to get done and what would it cost to make this happen.
Thanks for any help or advice you are able to give me.

They would need to contest the Will via the courts. The courts would order any necessary tests as part of the case.

My father died in 1993 and was buried never knowing who his father was. We have endlessly tried to find out but can’t. No way. Is there a chance we can get a comb used by him tested and would that give us any results.

Sin 15/07/2018 at 9:56 pm

Hi,
My uncle died over 20 years ago. I found out 15 years ago that my best friends brother in law was raising a child, that was supposedly my deceased uncles son. I found out this boy could be my uncles son. The story is no1 knew my uncle got this woman pregnant except the day of my uncle’s funeral. For so many years we had and still have no answers. My question is, this boy who is supposedly my cousin and I would like to truly find out. I was told if I have another living uncle, I could take his DNA and this kids dna and find out the truth. Can we do this with a home kit, or do we have to go to a specific place.

Squibbs 10/07/2018 at 4:09 pm

After his death in 1965, my friend discovered that the father who loved and raised her had been living under an alias. No trace of him is to be found in any records prior to 1930, but he was born at some point during the 1890s. Through DNA matching, she has found that she has three strongly matching 2nd-4th cousins, each descended from three siblings. I've traced their family tree backwards, laterally and forwards in time, to try to find any 'missing' men of the right age to be her father. The only candidate is another of the siblings who weny missing, believed killed during WW1. My friend has just found her father's old pipe, and wondered whether it is possible to have DNA extracted and tested to see if any of the DNA matching can be made more positive. Can this be done, and, if so, by whom?

duck 08/07/2018 at 11:28 am

ExploreDNA Editor 02/07/2018 at 2:16 pm

The easiest way to find out would be to contact a DNA testing facility and ask them whether it can be used. We're sorry but we don't know the answer to this.

My brother recently passed away very suddenly. Before the cremation I asked the funeral home to take swabs using cotton swabs and I placed the swabs in a pill jar. It was the only thing I could think of at the time.

The swabs are currently in the fridge. Can I send them for DNA testing?
My hope is they will be reliable in their current state.

p.s. It was the first time the funeral home has been asked to do this.

Lee 17/05/2018 at 7:31 pm

My father passed away a year ago. He was found in his home after a couple of weeks so the best thing that we (my mom, borhter, and myself) thought we could do to lay him to rest was to have him cremated. My father was originally from Nigeria, and his family began showing up after they heard of his passing. All of my father's stocks, property, and other valuables are in Nigeria. He did not have a will, and his siblings have been trying (even when he was alive) to take his inheritance from us. My family is very poor, and as his survivors, I feel that we are entitled to his inheritance before they are. I need to prove that he is our father (he did not sign my brother or my own birth certificates). There are a lot of issues here: across seas negotiations, finding a lawyer, DNA/cremains testing, etc. How would I go about tackling this? It's already been a year and my searches here in South Carolina have proved to be frutiless. Any help that you could provide is much appreciated.

You would need the mother's consent to have a DNA test done, but the test would establish a relationship between your family and the child.

my mother's younger sister ranaway at the age of 16, in 1984 my mother as well as the rest of my family my grandmother especially could use some closure on this we don't know if she is dead or what exactly happened she called from various places saying she would be home in 2 weeks after a few weeks of being gone and that was the last anyone had heard from her. if my mother was to submit her DNA is it possible to find a jane doe or track down her sister? any advice would help! thanks in advance.

If you and this man who says he's your grandson both take a DNA test, the result will show whether or not you are related and therefore whether relationship existed between your son and this man.

Hello, I'm 52 years old. Up until recently, I've always thought my father was one person. After 52 years I'm being told it was someone different. Apparently my mother had an affair before I was born. Everyone has since past away, my mother, the man I've always thought to be my dad, and the other man. So, obviously I can't ask my mother. But, I've always wondered why I didn't look like the who my mother claimed my father to be. I just received a picture from a family member and was told this is who you father really was. They also shared the behind everything. Holy cow, I can see a resemblance between me and this man. The man pasted away over 30 years ago, he never had any other kids. I figure I'm out of luck, but wanted to ask. Is there away for me to find out for sure that he was my dad? This really has me curious.

If you have DNA from the other possible fathers, then by a process of elimination, if neither of them is the father, the deceased one is.

If you're unable to obtain a DNA sample from the evidence that's left, you could ask your boyfriend's parents to take a test. That will establish a relationship between your baby and them (and hence their son too).

I am currently almost 8 months pregnant with my boyfriend's child. In late February, he passed away. It was sudden. He was only 29 years old. He was adopted from Peru so DNA from his parents is not an option. Toxicology is still being done. He has been cremated, but the medical examiner cut some of his hair because the mother stated she needed some for a DNA test. My question is I know you need a follicle to get DNA from hair right? The medical examiner just cut his hair..and he was embalmed for his service... if the hair sample isn't viable, can they use blood from the toxicology for DNA? Do they take extra samples of blood? I need to prove that my baby is his so I can get survivers benefits for the baby. I also want to prove to his parents that my baby is his son. I'm not sure what the right path is here.

The way I see it, some women like to mess around with different men and really don't know who their babies father's are, for example with my situation I'm a grandmother to a stillborn child whom my son is the father to, the baby is already buried and we have to figure out how to obtain her DNA cause the mother of the baby has told another man that he is the father all of a sudden, so we need to proof that he is actually the father for closure and I know that funeral home or hospital or doctors offices should have some kind of DNA of hers

What about the instance where, after cremation of a stillborn, the remains received were not 100% ashes? In this instance, the remaining received were primarily many chipped pieces. Many chunks of remains? Does this indicate an improperly performed cremation? And would these remains be viable for DNA testing, since there is more to test than ashes?

Hi,
I lost my daughter nearly 3 years ago (she was 4yo) in a car crash, i was not in the car but was one of the first responders to attend the scene, it was the worst day of my life and to be honest i was not thinking properly when we had her cremated as i would have wanted a dna profile of her so we had at least that of her remaining.
Now the question.
I have my work shirt, never washed and stored in a dark draw since her death in a plastic bag, it was covered with her blood and some brain matter.
Also in her ashes i have noticed some bone fragments and some tooth fragments.
Is there any way this far along i could successfully extract my daughter's dna from the above mentioned items? it would mean the world to my wife and i.

I was adopted over 40yrs ago and never knew my biological father until approx 5yrs ago when I managed to locate him.
When I met him he confirmed that he believed he was my natural father.
Sadly he passed away shortly after meeting him.
Now I am left wondering whether he was actually my father.
I assume dna testing is the only way to confirm that he was my biological father.
Clearly this is now difficult with his passing but perhaps not impossible.
When I met him he told me he had been in trouble with the law and had served a short custodial sentence. Can I match my Dna with that of my suspected father by gaining access to the Dna taken from him by the police?
Your help in this matter would be very much appreciated

I have 3 older sisters who share the same mother and father. When I was conceived, my mother and her husband were legally separated. My mother has always told me that her husband was not my father, and he told his 3 children I wasn't, either. The problem I have is he is listed on my birth certificate as my father & at birth, I was given his last name. I know the name of the man who my mother said was my father, and he was married, too. He said I was his daughter, as well, but as a child, I was continually told by my dad's wife that her husband was not my father. Due to this reason, I suffered a lot of physical and mental abuse from her. The abuse started when I was about 3 years-old and it has affected me deeply. I grew up afraid of people and I trusted no one - not even my mother! My father passed away suddenly when I was 11 years-old. At his funeral, I wasn't acknowledged, and I received a battery of dirty looks from her family. Over 40 years have passed, and I am still deeply troubled. I now have more years behind me, than ahead of me and before God calls me home, I'd like to know was the man who my mother said was my father really my biological father? Fortunately, I am close to his sister's children. Is there a way to compare my DNA with that of one of my paternal cousins to see if we are really related? I just need to know.

She stuck to her story of not knowing. Jump to 20years ahead. My mother passed away in the 90's. She was cremated. Her step sister called me up stating she believed I was her half sister, she stated things didn't make sense. Her father denied allegations before his passing in 2000's. She is willing to do a DNA test. Who else do I need to do the test? Only his other daughter ( her full sister) knows about her finding me. I have told my aunts and an uncle.

Im hoping you can help me gain some closure. Ten years ago I lost my 22 day old baby girl to SIDS. I have two things that continue to eat at my brain still to this day.The first is in regards to paternity. On her birth certificate I gave the name of who I believed to be her father. (He was an ex who I ended up having a one night stand with at a halloween party) I didn't sleep with anyone after that. So I was pretty sure he was her father. He signed the paper admitting to paternity as opposed to requesting a dna. She was born with blond hair blue eyes (the alleged father had blond half blue eyes as did his two children)I had no reason to ever question paternity.Ten years later I reunited with my now wonderful husband. After many conversations I came to the realization tha husband and I had been intimate quite frequently (right before I had that one night stand with the alleged father. I realized the baby looked identical to my hubbys other children. Almost exact. O realized that the possibility of my hubby being her father was way higher than it was it had ever been with the named father. My husband truly believes she was his baby. On her autoposy it list my self and the original alleged father as parents. My question is.did they establish paternity when they performed autoposy or did they Go off of birth certificate?

Hi, my brother died 22 yrs ago. We lost contact with his son but now have started to meet with him again. When he was alive there was some doubt whether my brother was the biological father. Is there any way after this long to find out through his sons dna that he's related to me which would prove he is my brothers son?

My question is if I have hair from my child and he has passed the father denied him, can I have a test done.

My mother died in 2015 and was cremated. Her remains stayed with the funeral directors , recently after sorting where her final resting place was to be , we contacted the funeral parlour to say we were coming to collect mums ashes. The funeral directors told me mums ashes were delivered to her house not long after she was cremated . The story was not a good one and couldn't have happened ,after numerous e mails today they have miraculously found her ashes under her old married name not the one she was buried under. We are no doubting if the ashes are going to be genuine and are wondering if dna can be used to determine it is our mum . This is very upsetting for us we just want closure.

My daughters' estranged father hijacked her body from the organ donation organization & had her cremated. He then refused to give me half the ashes until we threatened to involve the authorities. We were horrified to find huge bone fragments throughout them once we finally received them.
The crematorium does not believe, based off of photos sent to them, that what I have are my daughters remains. What are the odds of a useable/testable amount of DNA surviving in big pieces of bone that has been burnt?? Are there any agencies that can do the testing & make the results available to police/courts??

He has donated his body to the University of Nevada Reno where he is now. He has been embalmed so there is no 'fresh' DNA available. The UNR is willing to work with me to get his DNA if I can find a Comp. who will be able to do it. Genealogy is VERY important to me and my family and I am very earnest in being able to find out what we can do at this point whil his body is still available. Can you help me?

My mother died in 1963. I have her Bible, with many pages of her handwriting. This Bible has been virtually untouched since it was first packed away after her death. Would it be possible to extract and test any of her DNA from it? I am female and have tested my Autosomal and Mito DNA (with three companies), and my full brother tested his Autosomal and Y with the FTDNA Big-Y and also Y-111 Strs. Our father is also deceased and was never tested, and neither I nor my brother have children. The results would not have to be highest-quality. Even a little would satisfy. If there is a company that might be able to help, that would be much appreciated. I understand that if it is possible, it will be expensive.

A DNA testing provider should be able to test for a relationship between you and the child, which would then be reasonabe proof as to whether your son was the father. There are plenty of clinics that will provide these tests but you would have to pay for it.

A test would establish a relationship between you, but as you have the same mother it might not be conclusive. Did your father have any siblings? Or are his parents still alive? A test that displayed a relationship betwee your sister and one of them might indicate that he was indeed the father.

My question is which samples would be the best to take for accuracy, especially if it may be sometime before I get any test carried out. Also, when having samples DNA tested, what do you actually get back paper-wise. Is it some sort of a DNA chart you can study and research yourself or pass-on to someone else to study and research or, are you forever tied to the lab that carried out the analysis in the first place!

Unless there is something left by the father that can be used for DNA purposes, there is not much you can do at the moment. If the family are in agreement, you could arrange DNA test to establish a relationship between them and your niece. It may be better for her to wait until the age of 18 when she is more mature and can arrange this for herself.

You need to apply to the ministry of justice for a licence to have a body exhumed. It's unlikely that DNA to trace a family tree will be sufficient reason to grant an exhumation. It can also cost thousands of pounds as you have to pay for the body to be -reburied in a new coffin etc.

Sir Thomas 13/10/2015 at 11:41 pm

I am doing research on our family tree. There is little to no information on my maternal great grandmother, Anna Malis Soltis. My maternal great grandfather John Soltis married Helena after Anna supposedly died. The last child between John and Anna was born 1891. John and Helena married in 1895. On the marriage license it is written that the man's former wife died June 12, 1894.
There is a family plot but Anna is not in it. We found a marker for Anna Soltis in a nearby cemetery but the dates cannot be read because of erosion and paint and the church records were burned in a fire. Does a body have to be exhumed to get DNA samples and who has to provide the sample to verify if this is the Anna in my bloodline? What would this cost?

Hello,

To the best of your knowledge, is it customary for those entering the military (specifically, the Navy) to have their DNA tested, or on file before being accepted into said service? The reason for my inquiry, is my biological father (who happened to be old enough to be my grandfather, and died in 2006 at the age of 82) was in the Navy. I am interested in having his DNA tested to

b) I would like to have a copy of his genome, so I can have a better picture of my genetics-in whole. Without his information, all I have is mitochondria and that only tells a small portion of the story.

I was adopted when I was one month old. I was never told who my actual biological dad was til two years ago I was 42. He has since past away, but he was the brother of my adopted mother. I wanted to find out if he was truly my true biological dad. I just can not let it go. I do not know how to go about it. I have always wondered where do I belong in this world? My adopted mom and dad have passed as well. My adoption was not a legal adoption until I was seven. His oldest daughter and I favor a great deal along with many other family members. Can she and I get a dna and how much do you think it might cost?

A few days ago I received a phone call from an ex girlfriend stating that her 5 year old daughter was indeed my sons. Apparently he never believed that the child was his and he was never made to pay child support or the like. How can I obtain testing to be sure this child was / is my sons.

My daughter's father passed away a few months ago & was buried-there was no will but the estate is being dealt with by solicitors in Scotland with a woman claiming to be his daughter (his name is on the birth certificate) & although everyone knows who her father is (not the deceased's) we need to prove this -there is also a so called son claiming from the estate (his name is also on the birth certificate) due to his real father disowning him & the deceased offering to take the child on to save face for the mother-is it possible to prove this & what is required & the cost of this process?

Question regarding DNA and alternate sample types:

I have a tooth from my father- he has not been in contact with the family for at least a decade. I do not have any reason to doubt he is my genetic father but I DO want to trace my paternal ancestry. We are from a very tiny minority group and I am looking for state of the art testing to help us identify our roots. We aren't interested in those cheap swab tests offered by Nat Geo or PBS- we want the real deal, something that can narrow down our origins and tell us where we really come from. We are Roma aka European Gypsy, but that can mean just about anything you want it to- no written documentation to speak of since even my father could not read or write. I realize this is an expensive endeavor. But it is my only chance at finding my paternal ancestry. Please advise if you know of a particular type of test for molar teeth, or a particular lab I should contact in the USA. Also, what kind of legal issues could I run into if I cannot contact my father for permission to submit DNA? Side note- I am pregnant and would like to see what kind of heritable diseases my father's side of the family may pass down. Thanks for the help in advance.

My father (an African man) died since 1970 leaving about 15 children from different wives; he had a western married wife who had one daughter ( the third child) and several traditional married wives that bored the rest of the children. Since 1970 this sister of ours have been administering our late father's properties with out caring or supporting any of us. We took her to the probate court in 2010 for redress. Since we have not yet sue her due to lack of fund, the court decided to called the parties to a conference so the intestate estate will be located and close. At the court this sister of ours told the court we are not our late father's children (making us criminals by definition) but after some attempts to proceed some relative strongly advised her not tread on such path. We are now still in the civil law court from that relative advise to her because we would have gone through a criminal court to establish our paternity identity before proceeding to the civil law court. Now, my question is can a DNA test be done to really establish whether we are this dead man's children? What do you think will be the cost per person or for the package of 12 to 15 persons.

My brother was shot and killed 5 years ago this Christmas.. He was 16.. at the time. But 2 years ago a Man contacted our family letting us know his wife has a child that may be my brothers. I've met this girl before my brother passed away so there's a good possibility.. He's kept in touch as much as he can but she's never reached out to us. She recently has gotten a divorce from this man due to him tracking us down and contacting us. What's the best way to have a DNA test done in this case? Just curious on how all this works. We'd vlike to have answers instead of just wondering what if..

My brother passed away 08-07-2013 and will be cremated today. He was supposed to have a daughter who is now 23. She refuses to have a paternity test, doesn't want any of his belongings but wants the money from the sale of my mothers real estate, who also passed away 05-31-2013. My mother paid her child support for my brother for many years. An autopsy was not performed on my brother and I do suspect foul play. From my understanding when you die at home police are supposed to investigate and they did not. At the home where he passed, instead of calling 911, she called her son-in-law first, then after 15 to 20 minutes 911 was called. When my mother passed at home the police investigated her death. I have been trying to get in contact with the police but can not. Something is very odd here. Since he will be cremated today, will there be anyway to prove he is actually her father?

Headstones have been switched in our family cemetery no one seems to know anything about this mystery of my Grandmother's switching headstone not even the cemetery. After doing some investigating on my part I'm not sure Grandmother is even in the grave at all after 25 years. She was cremated and was not buried until much later even though she had bought a grave at the time Grandfather died way before Grandmother. After reading your website I feel that I may never know who is buried next to Grandfather. I do believe other family members stole the original headstone and moved it to where Grandmother is really buried. This family has done things like this for years no one will stand up to them because of no evidence, is this the case again? You can steal headstones out of cemeteries change ashes on us and there is nothing the rest of the family can do? How frustrating for the rest of us! What do the rest of us law abiding family members do nothing? We have been doing this for way to long and need a little help stopping them in the future they are into the second generation of illegal mischievous relatives.

Is it possible to take Y-DNA test from a dead body who died 35 years ago?

Hi, I'm in a very difficult situation. My baby boy died of congenital heart disease too young at the age of 9 months. He was the second child of three, all products of my 18 year relationship with my partner Mick. Recently,11 years after Rye-Leighs death, my partner has accused me of having an affair stressing he has 100 percent proof after being approached by a male who claimed he'd had an affair with me for time between my first baby girl and Rye (approx 4 years). This is not true of course and I have been faithful to Mick, but it has got to the point Mick is trying to get proof through a paternity test! Even with the insult and injury involved with the accusation, I have tried 'my' best to prove his paternity, more for the sake and respect of my little boy. I have only been able to get results of an amniocentesis, which did nothing unfortunately and my partner is waiting on Freedoms of Information (been over 9 months now) to find out Rye's blood type. I'm at my wits end trying to prove this is what it is, an insane lie. Our relationship is irretrievable from the abuse I have received over this incident but he refuses to leave until he has proof! I do have a few of Rye-Leighs baby clothes. One little suit even has old 'spit up' on it (I wouldn't wash for sentimental reasons). Would this help?

hello my name is mark and i really dont want to die so i have been working at this a long time first i discovered life force is liberty and recognition i got that from the tibbeten book of the dead and the only way to get life force is to work for it. from the bible i found a saying he who indores to the end i will give a crown of understanding with back up from scientologies A-R-C triangle formula of understanding affinity your ok with the problem reallity you found someone to agree with you about it and communacation you can talk about it. next old age is caused by the imagination its called dismorphic disorder thats being picky about things so dont be picky and have a spirit of courage and humility there are things i calll phoninons like a pasty look in the face or crows feet or really bad wrinkles those are all illusions caused by phenominons [apply arc ] finely you can never stop practicing jumping running and balencing because you never really grow older than 7 years because the human body renews itself every 7 years

My daughter's father was killed in the war in Iraq. To get benefits, we have had to get her DNA tested again her paternal grandparent. I am skeptical of how this will prove paternity in court. Can you offer and insight into this? When we went to have the test done, they only tested my daughter and her grandfather but said they may need to add me at another time.
