DNA help needed? didn't know where to post

[irret]

Have hit a brick wall with search for birth but have a family that fits and have made a connection with family that fits on GenesReunited both parties are willing to cooperate but has anyone done this before will it work? where to go? how much will it cost? So many questions need help please

I must admit I have trouble getting my head round the idea of 2 families having DNA tests to see whether they're related.  Is there a large inheritance involved?
Various firms will do DNA testing.  I suppose they would want samples from members of both families to compare.  Don't expect it to be cheap.  You could look at the website www.genebase.com for starters.

Hi
On the dna solutions you can click on other relationship tests and looks like they get back to you. Might be worth a try.

If you mean that you have a paper trail connection and want to know if DNA testing will confirm links the answer is yes definitely.

I manage several DNA tests on Ancestry and trees for relatives and friends .

+ Have solved questions about parentage of ancestors & descendants of half  siblings . Beyond 3rd cousins it gets harder ..but definitely worth doing . I don't have experience of other sites but am about to download my ancestry results to My.Heritage and GED match
Look forward to seeing if they give more connections.

Sutton : Many people think DNA only helps identify close relationships and don't realise that it can prove your connections to 5th great grandparents

I helped my 3rd cousin work out his birth father by comparing our mutual matches .he was closest to a 2nd cousin on my maternal grandfathers side then we worked out who his 1st cousins & my other 3rd cousins were .

But it's not easy and you may need help from someone who knows how to compare your matches .
