DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid

Today the boy's are back out on the road talking to their guests Wes Cardy and his very good friend Jan. Wes and Jan are in a singing group called "Cardy and Coke" and have been very successful over the years singing and writing songs for themselves and celebrities Ken Dodd and Daniel O'donnell.

Wes was born during the second world war and was fathered by an American over here in the UK as a serviceman, working at the local airfield of Wormingford.

For 50 years Wes has been trying to trace his long lost father who had returned to the United States in the 1940's but it wasn't until his very good friend and singing partner Jan gave Wes a DNA testing kit for his birthday.

Wes and Jan tells us the whole story and the remarkable events that took place following this life changing gift, they discuss the DNA story and how this is available for everyone trying to trace long lost family and those building their own family tree.

This is a remarkable story and we thank Wes and Jan for sharing this very personal journey with us all today.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, & reproduction of all known organisms including many viruses. It's a double-stranded helix, often visualised as a twisted ladder, with the rungs made of paired base molecules (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine).
