Testing for first or second order relatives is realtively simple nowadays using do-dominant molecular markers such as microsatellite DNA repeats, however, going back 4 to 5 generations is currently unlikely to yield an conclusive results. Mitochondrial DNA (DNA inherited directly from the mother ) is also an option, however, given that animals over a large geographic range commonly share mitochondrial haplotypes this is also unlikely to yield any conclusive result.
