Hi,
Not posted on here for a while, I was wondering if anyone knows about resent DNA testing is it worth doing how accurate is it, has any one on here taken one?
If yes, would it prove if my father now deceased was the son of his parents? I have a few suspicions that he was his sisters child but passed as her mothers child........she was 18 when he was born and her mother 43 ....not unknown at 43 I know 😊 just she had no children that I know of between 1909 -1918 the last two boys born to her died in infancy, so no living child since 1906 making it a huge gap of 12 years! Don't know why she would want another baby after all this time and her age, so that's why I've suspicions that it was her 18year old daughters who went on to marry but had no children.
Thanks Liz

If you have a brother and your Aunt has a son, both could do a Y-DNA test, which could possibly prove/disprove they had the same father.

Thanks but she didn't have any children after she married, so even though I have a brother that's not possible.

If your father had a brother who left a son, you could check your father's Y-DNA against your cousin's. If your father was not actually the son of your grandfather then his Y-DNA would be different from the other males in the family.
