Thanks Kathleen,
I will check out the links below and see if it gives the cost. Maybe I can
bribe them?

Jerry,
It has to be a mouth swab. And yes the male cousins would be fine.

My mom passed away last Nov. and her brother died a couple years before
but
he has two sons living I have not seen in many years. Is the sample a
mouth
swab or can they do a hair sample? If I pay for it, one of the sons
might
participate if I ask real nice. It's worth a try.
