How Does Our Home Family Reconstruction DNA Test Compare?
The Home Family Reconstruction DNA Test provides a reliable way to evaluate a biological relationship when the alleged father is unavailable for testing. This analysis compares the DNA of a child with two close paternal relatives—such as the alleged father’s parents or siblings—to determine whether the genetic evidence supports the claimed family connection.
This type of testing is designed for situations where direct paternity testing is not possible. By analyzing DNA from multiple paternal relatives, the laboratory can reconstruct the missing genetic profile and perform a statistical comparison to assess the likelihood of a biological relationship. All samples are analyzed by an accredited U.S. laboratory using validated procedures to ensure accurate, confidential results.
Collection is completed privately at home using painless cheek swabs. DNA kits are shipped quickly and discreetly, and prepaid return packaging is included. If participants are located in different cities or states, additional shipping addresses can be added during the ordering process so each person receives their own collection kit. Once all samples are received by the laboratory, results are typically available within a few business days.
Home family reconstruction testing is intended for personal knowledge only. If you require results for court or official purposes, a legal DNA test with documented chain-of-custody will be required.

Answers to Common Home Family Reconstruction DNA Test Questions
Find answers to common questions about family reconstruction DNA testing, including who should participate, how the process works, and what to expect from your results.
Family reconstruction testing is used to evaluate a biological relationship when the alleged father is unavailable for testing. The laboratory compares the child’s DNA with two close paternal relatives—such as the alleged father’s parents or siblings—to assess whether the genetic evidence supports the claimed relationship.
This test requires the child and two close paternal relatives. Suitable participants may include the alleged father’s parents (the child’s grandparents) or his full siblings. Other children of the alleged father are not appropriate for this type of analysis; in those cases, a sibling DNA test should be considered instead.
Family reconstruction is an indirect analysis, so results are expressed as a statistical likelihood rather than the definitive percentages seen in direct paternity testing. Testing two close paternal relatives helps strengthen the analysis and improve the conclusiveness of the results.

Yes. If participants live in different cities or states within the contiguous United States, additional shipping addresses can be added during ordering so each person receives their own collection kit.
