How To Find My Biological Father?

default
Posted on Mon, 3 Feb 2014
Question: Female had been told who her father was by her mother. No testing was ever done. Years later, she tells the daughter that there is a slim possibility that the man's brother could be her dad. Apparently both brother had been with the mother when she became pregnant. The daughter is wanting to know who her biological father is. Do all parties, mother, both brothers and daughter need to have DNA samples tested to get conclusive results? Will she receive conclusive results with them being brothers? What if only one brother is tested?
