Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Finding my father through Ancestry DNA
« on: Wednesday 08 July 20 12:01 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I have recently received the results of my Ancestry DNA test. I was hoping to find out who my father was through this test (I've checked birth certificates, adoption papers, his name is listed no where) I have also tried to be in touch with family members that would have known of him but they have either passed or haven't replied.
I have been able to distinguish my maternal DNA matches apart from the paternal DNA matches but on the paternal side there is only a few matches of a '4th-6th cousin' and I'm not even sure where to start to determine who our common ancestor is as each cousin has a different family tree. Has anyone had any success with doing it this way and has any advice?
Cheers, Tracey.
