Originally posted by Mike Mallett Is it possible to get a DNA sample from hair of a deceased person? If so can FTDNA use it for a Y-DNA test?
Thanks,

We don't extract DNA from hair samples. First, not being an organic material, it doesn't have the DNA. But still, there will be labs that may be able to extract the DNA from the root, at an expensive cost....
