An unusual kinship case arrived to our laboratory, having as main objective to perform a genetic analysis between a living presumable niece and some human remains –eight bones from a hand. The bone samples probably belonged to a cleric executed in Almeria (Spain), during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), where, after the execution, the cadaver was thrown to a dry well and covered with lime. Later, the cadaver was transferred to a local cemetery, where du e to a flood, was then relocated in another sanctuary.
