Redroger,

For a real chance of getting a DNA profile from hair you need the root.

Marcie,

Did your grandfather have a brother?  If so does he have a son?  If so then you could do it that way.    So long as there is a proven line of descent through the male line with that surname then a test could be performed

The Y chromosome is only passed down father to son. To find your grandfathers DNA you would need a father to son line, so if it is your mothers father you would need her to have had a brother who can give his DNA, or his son. If there was no male issue of your grandfather,[ or no way of using any DNA from them if there was], then you have no way of finding his Y chromosone DNA.

The family owned the land upon which Edinburgh Zoo is now situated.  Grandads brother died also some years ago and he and his wife did not have any sons only daughters, my second cousins.  Have not spoken to them for some time.

marcie  so do not know what their families consist of in the way of children these days and they would be about my age as well, in their 50's

As I said, it would really be a lucky chance to get DNA from this route.

Youngtug,
my uncle is also dead some 20/25 years now and there is a small poss that he was not my grandads son, though I would never say as much to other family members for fear of being linched.

marcie

Seems I have lucked out then.

Would it be possible to confirm a common genetic progenitor from the DNA of descendents of two brothers?

3 x great grandson of brother (a) and 4 x great grandson of brother (b)  direct male lines.

The doubt is whether brother (b) is the 4 x great grandfather or is this line from another family.

Have any of you managed to find at least beyond reasonable doubt strong evidence as to the father of a baseborn child in your tree?
