Thanks, Donna! I will try to contact her via that link.
"We DO show a connection (via YDNA) to Owen Daniel and Thomas Daniel of Isle of Wight, VA and down. "
I have never tried to verify that the line of descent from the Isle of Wight Daniels to the folks who claim descent, and have taken a Y DNA test, is proved using primary records, so I advise approaching this supposed connection with caution unless they can provide a primary record trail which proves that connection. If you are relying on this connection as part of your ancestry to guide your research, I advise contacting them and asking them if they can provide primary record evidence to support this connection. If they cannot provide that proof, I would be cautious in citing the connection without noting that it is not proved. It may be. I do not know.
If you do contact them and they can provide that primary record evidence, I would appreciate if you would send me their proofs so that I can better manage the Daniel Y DNA Project. Conversely, if they cannot provide that proof, it would just as important for me to be aware of that.
There are a few proved (through Y DNA) Middlesex Daniel descendants participating in the Daniel DNA Project who still claim descent from Roger Daniell, Piers Daniell, the D'Anyers, William and Dorothy Forth Daniel, etc., all proved to be incorrect assignments, so one must take any claims of ancestry from participants of the Daniel DNA Project, in general, with a large grain of salt, unless their line has been solidly documented using primary record evidence. If they cannot provide that proof then such assignments are questionable. Actually, lacking that primary record trail, all that can be proved is that there is some connection to the earliest known ancestor of that line of Y DNA matches, not actual descent from that earliest known ancestor.
To prove the Y DNA of an ancestor, the descendants of two of his sons must be proved using primary record evidence and have matching Y DNA test results.
Best,
Kevin
