I love Trakehners!

I am new to both the list and to owning a horse. Mercedes is a neglect rescue that is a story of its own. My specific question here relates to the hope I can discover her Dam.
She is @ 17-18 years old, sired by Marcus. I tried contacting the farm that had Marcus between mid 80's to mid 90's, but never got a response. According to ATA Marcus had sired to a few unregistered mares between 90' - 91'.
She was trained to possible 2nd lvl dressage and had fox hunted (so I was told). I have pictures of her as she is today, at this web site:

but if any of this rings a bell please let me know. One other questions relates to DNA, if she came from an unregistered mare it would not help?
Can a DNA sample be compared against all mares to see if there is a match? Did the do DNA testing back in 90-91 or earlier?
In the end it is not that important for her or for me, but I hate loose ends. Maybe she deserves the chance to be registered given her sire. Any help would be very appreciated.
