However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.

Not sure where that "emigrated to Australia" comes from.
Alan, Thank you for noticing the error about Australia. I agree with all your other statements. I deleted the "emigrated to Australia ... " statement as I, too, have no idea how that got added to the biography.
