My maiden name is Daniel, but the trace is thru the male line, so my first cousin Alfred David Daniel did the DNA test for our family. You can read up on it and decide if it would help you find out to which major Daniel family you belong. This usually points people in the right direction for research. You might want to sign up for the direct Daniel surname list thru rootsweb, also.
