Hi Georgia, I believe that William's surname is Norvill, not Daniel. If so, it would not benefit William or the Daniel DNA Project for him to take a Y DNA test. or join the Daniel Y DNA Project It would, however, be beneficial if he wanted to trace his paternal Norvill ancestry.?
There is a company, LivingDNA in the.U.K. which does autsomal DNA testing and also determines mtDNA haplogroup and also high level Y DNA haplogroups for men as part of the test. I have tested with them and their product would probably be best for autosomla DNA testing for U.K. residents.
Best,
Kevin
