Another Daniel/Daniels line here.? The start of my line,? where I have proof, is?James Daniel Sr. born? in Ireland about 1685.? His son?John is my direct ancestor. John married an Irish Kennedy, but not from the presidential line.? A very common name is Kennedy in Ireland.
I am a member of three DNA groups at Family Tree DNA; one is the Daniels group that is traced back to John Daniel of New London , CT, this Daniel group and believe it or not a Hoolihan group. All connected by DNA.
This is all due to my brother's DNA result.? The Hoolihan's have direct links to Ireland and somewhere the Catholic Hoolihan married a male Protestant Daniel.
The missing links to find the ancestors that connect us are yet to be found.
I also have information at Wikitree where there are many Daniel/Daniels families, some connect, some don't.
There are also German and Dutch lines of Daniel/Daniels, but to my knowledge they don't fit our lines.
Laura Daniels Nixon-also not related to a president, LOL
