At that time, I had two problems: My father was dead, and my cousins both had sons and were reluctant to do a DNA test. 2) My family-tree family is Amish and I didn't think they'd be too keen on a DNA test, either, and would probably refuse, so there would be nothing to match to.
My family tree has always been know...like you know what color your eyes are, it's always just been there. So I started researching 4th cousins, which was pathetically easy due to an unusual surname and the fact that as I had always known where i came from, so did they.
I *finally* found a fourth cousin who would submit a DNA sample, and was astonished to find the AMISH side had already submitted one years before! I bought one more test for a known individual who was a 6th cousin of mine as a control, and then another 7th cousin added his to the group.
I was definitely able to tie into a well researched (on paper) family back to 1308 with DNA. Now with new technology in the DNA field, we are going back to the 800s, and maybe earlier.
So with DNA, you don't need a brother, uncle or father. You can use a distant cousin you find in your paper trail.
This is not Family Finder, it's a straight 111 marker test (which only two people need to buy - the rest can tag on with 37 or 67 markers tests) Any extra SNPs can be done simply with one person's results and everybody gets the benefit.
