I highly suggest that you buy a DNA test kit from Ancestry, I see it as £59 + postage.

Ydna is only passed down through the male line. Looks like you are restricted to Autosomal dna.
I think Ancestry would be the best, <snip>

@Biggles50 and @youngtug
Thanks very much for your quick responses, Ancestry it is then.  :)

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Advice as to which test please
« on: Sunday 23 March 25 18:36 GMT (UK)  »
My mum's father was born  to  an unknown father, he  was fostered out, his mother never acknowledged him  and certainly never told him who his father was. We have found  his mother in the 1911 census as a servant, and for a couple of reasons my mum's brother thought someone  else in that household might be  the father - not least that servants didn't get much time off  to go out.

My mum is still with us but  her brother died a few years ago, so she is available (and willing) to  take a DNA test but he isn't. The thing is I'm not sure which test would  be  correct  to take when  looking for her  paternal grandfather. Does anyone have any advice please?

Obviously I'm aware that I'm reliant on some descendant of my great-grandfather  having taken a test and posted it.
