    If the biological parent is deceased who can be tested (DNA) to prove paternity?
    Who can be tested for DNA if the biological father is deceased, as well as biological grandparents are deceased.

    A sibling or any other family member,might show a sufficient match. But why is this an issue?

    THANKS, ScottGem

    It's an issue because I am apparently the secret love child... I just found out 4 days ago. In my research on the "bio-father" he passed away as well as his parents all of his siblings except 2 sisters who are currently unaware or ignoring me. So I wanted to know if it was possible the children of the deceased "bio-uncles" would be sufficient to test. So far I have not uncovered any other children by the "bio-father" making me the possible only child.

    And again, why is this important? Is there an inheritance you think you are entitled to? Are you concerned about some genetic disorder you might have inherited?

    I'm trying to gauge the possibility of your getting a court to order a test.

    There are a couple of things: I have two boys, one has been diagnosed with a disability and according to the doctors hereditary. They are requesting health records and/or information regarding family health history etc. I have none on my fathers side. The other is an issue will have to be taken up with BIA, if I want to pursue that part. In my research which has hit a dead end as far as family history is out of 8 siblings 2 are alive... and the first to pass is the potential bio-father at the young age of 32. No obituary. No story. Just a burial plot, dob and dod. I mainly want health history and I don't see the family just handing it over. As it is the sisters aren't acknowledging me.

    Ok, If you are trying to determine health history, especially under the circumstances, you should get a court to order a test.

    Good luck
