Hmmm, I think it's working

Try Qiagen kits, DNeasy tissue kits seem to work well for most samples that I have done, however all my samples have been less than 10 years old. Another thing to think about is what your samples are preserved in, formaldehyde and similar chemicals can make DNA extraction very difficult or impossible.
Good luck

I don't know how many samples you have. I prefare to use my own recipe for aDNA isolation from bones and teeth instead of kits, but it really depends on how many you have. I have experience with kits from a company Mo-Bio (www.mobio.com) - forensic sample extraction. Good Luck
