Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / 1920s - can father be determined?
« on: Monday 04 March 24 19:07 GMT (UK) »
While helping a friend, “Bob”, with his tree, we found out that his grandfather was not his biological grandfather. Nothing was ever mentioned to Bob, but his mother may not have known about her birth father. Thanks to the families having their DNA tested, creating online trees and including photos, I am certain that I found his previously unknown cousins, etc.
However, there were several brothers in the family. I believe I can exclude a few of the brothers as being his grandfather but might there be a way to determine which brother “met up” with his grandmother? The siblings were born in Ireland and most settled in America. I’ve not yet been able to find out anything about one of the brothers so I can’t rule him out. I also don’t know if all of the brothers were included in the trees.
I’ve started a tree for this family, to do my own research, but I’m just wondering, please, if it is more than likely impossible to determine who might be the grandfather. Thank you, Lisa
