I am just wondering in this day and age that they can see if the DNA matches any relatives?

They totally can, as long as they either 1) saved a specimen, or 2) can still use any tissue/matter obtainable from her now; as in, it’s not too degraded. I’d think it would be fine. Like bros 402 said, the doe project will be on it at some point, I’m sure. Doesn’t mean the layman can’t help make that happen sooner, though!

Doe Project doesn’t work on babies or young children due to risks associated with the parents being most likely to have something to do with it, I think.
