Newcastle-upon-Tyne Test for Paternity

DNA Bioscience provide paternity testing and other DNA relationship testing to the residents of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the surrounding area. As we have dealt with a number of customers from Newcastle-upon-Tyne we wanted to also take the opportunity of providing information about this city.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne dates from the Roman period and derives its name from the Norman castle built in 1080 by Robert II of Normandy, the oldest son of William I (the Conqueror). At first an important wool trade centre, it became a major mining area and coal-shipping port in the 16th century. It was among the world's largest ship-repairing facilities; its economy now rests on associated marine and heavy engineering industries. The city is also an educational centre and features a 14th-century church.
