Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Free Y-DNA Testing for males with the surname of Riddell or Riddle

To wrap up my contribution to this thread.
For a few years I knew there was an NPE in my Paternal line but given the atDNA matches I could not resolve where that was.
I had a few different hypothesis and the problem was also exacerbated with there being a double whammy or rather a double set of gene transfers taking place, hence my Irish/Italian Avatar which relates to a double NPE.
One atDNA and a mass of Shared DNA matches all having a certain Surname in their past so the clue is there.
The yDNA test results have matches with that very same surname.
So positively YES, the yDNA test worked 100% for me.
My issue remains the tree from me to said Surname.
