A distant relative – on my fathers side – I’ve only met once emails me occasionally to discuss family tree stuff. I did a wee bit of research a few years ago but she’s much more keen and has got pretty far with it. She’s coming to the area soon and would like to meet up again.
She has also asked if I would consider DNA testing to help her research. Apparently, she really needs it to be a male member of the the family.
I’ve not replied yet and was thinking it’s just a bit of harmless fun. But what if it threw up a real curveball and the result indicated my father wasn’t my, err, father?
Both of my parents are dead now but I do have a brother.
Would you chance it, be helpful, or is it not worth the risk?
