I have no success with yDNA testing. The matches were all with people whose MRCA to me was 8 or 9 generations back which is of no use to someone like me who comes from a long line of RC peasantry from the West of Ireland! My wife and I have enjoyed some success with autosomal DNA testing unearthing several 3rd cousins and were subsequently able to find primary records to supplement the DNA connection.
