To answer the question is DNA for 2nd cousins accurate. Yes for male family members.

Was going to answer before but thought somebody would be there first :-)

Thanks for you help everyone

According to Google there are several sites which charge £99 for a DNA Paternity Test. This one looks a bit more promising for you, but I couldn't see anything about cost.

Any DNA testing is 'possible'...........whether or not there would be any value in it is another matter

I would suggest asking your GP for advice. They should be able to point you in the right direction. I suspect this might be pretty costly though.

There's some good information here:

Basically my great grandfather was illegitimate, and we have found a probable father and some of his legitimate descendents. Really the only way we can be sure of our relation would be to test our DNA, but would testing half-2nd cousins be just to distant to test?
If not can anyone suggest a trustworthy site to do this through?

Apologies if ive posted this to a incorrect board
