Title: Survey: unknown parentage and DNA testing
Post by: DevonCruwys on Tuesday 29 December 20 21:34 GMT (UK)
How successful is DNA in helping British & Irish adoptees (and other people of unknown parentage) find their biological family? That’s what this survey aims to find out.

If you or one (or both) of your parents were born in Britain or Ireland and you have taken a DNA test, then please complete the 14 questions in this brief survey. It takes about two minutes to complete and the results will help inform future research. (Please note that NO identifying information is stored - it is completely anonymous).

Please feel free to share the link with friends & family and on mailing lists and social media.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and we will endeavour to answer it as quickly as possible. Here is the link to the survey.

Can you answer on behalf of an adoptee who is deceased? It's just that it seems such a worthy survey and all info would be useful although quite understand if it has to the adoptee themselves for DP reasons.

Flemming and Brigidmac Yes we would welcome a response from people acting on behalf of a deceased adoptee but it would be helpful if you could mention that when you complete the survey.

Sorry I stand corrected. The survey is just limited to living people. Historical cases would be an interesting subject for a future survey.
