- DNA Test
Is it possible to perform the DNA test to find out if we are cousins?
The answer is: yes. The cousin test can show if two people are biological first cousins: First cousins ​​share a set of maternal or paternal grandparents, but are not siblings.
A cheek swab sample is needed from the 'presumed' cousins ​​and the samples are then compared to see if there are any DNA matches.
The most common reason for a Cousin DNA Test is requested is because the cousin's parents are not available for the test. Paternity and maternity tests will always provide conclusive answers. If the required parents are not available for testing, the next best test is the uncle or aunt test.
However, if it is impossible to test the aunt or uncle, and the only remaining option is to test the cousins, then the cousin test can be performed. However, keep in mind that a cousin test is not as conclusive as a paternity test or an aunt and uncle test and should only be chosen if there are no better options available.

I’m very impressed! This company has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with from the moment I picked up the phone. I ordered a paternity kit and it was shipped to me after 3 business days. The test was simple and discreet, very easy to take. The results were available after 5 days and I can finally sleep better knowing the truth.

Everything went smoothly. The kit arrived within 2-3 days and instructions were very easy to follow. Results were sent to me within a week’s time. Customer service was great as I called in to place the order. So happy I know the results now!
