Haplogroup R-1b1b-2
Haplogroup R1b is the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in western Europe.  It reaches a frequency of 70-80% in the British Isles (please see distribution map).  R1b is the group believed to have re-populated Europe from an Iberian refugium when the last glacial ice sheet retreated about 10-12,000 years ago. 
R-1b1b-2 is the most common subclade of R1b, and some R-1b1b-2 project members will find they have a WAMH logo on their member page.  WAMH is an acronym standing for Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype.  Having a WAMH logo on your member page at FTDNA indicates you have one of the four most common 12-marker haplotypes in western Europe.
R-1b1b-2 individuals, especially WAMH individuals, will find they have many genealogically insignificant matches (in other surnames) at low levels (12 or 25 markers).  R1b's need to test at least 37 markers to gain separation from these insignificant matches; and, ultimately, most will have to test 67 markers to be confident of their relationships.  R-1b1b-2 individuals may also want to consider deep SNP testing to further refine their haplogroup subclade (see chart below).

These seven individuals represent four distinct families, which are not closely related to one another.
The BUDDELL and BUDDLE are a 63/67 match, indicating they have a near common ancestor.  There is BUDDLE with a 37/37 match to #108870 in the FTDNA database, but I have not yet been able to convince him to join the project or share his lineage.
Two of the Deme-2 individuals have a paper descent from Robert BEDELL of Essex, and a third has a paper descent from Stephen BEDELL of Long Island, NY.  Their closely matching (66/67) test results strongly support that they do, indeed, have a near common ancestor.  Their haplotype closely resemble the R1b modal haplotype, so they have hundreds of 12/12 and 25/25 matches in the FTDNA database (all in other surnames), but no full matches at 37, much less 67 markers.  These results underscore the importance of R1b's testing minimally 37 markers.
#144281 was initially tested to 43 markers at DNA-Heritage.  He has since joined the BIDDLE project and been re-tested at FTDNA to 67 markers (markers tested by both companies agree).  Because he is WAMH at 12 markers, he has over 1600 full 12/12 matches in the FTDNA database, including the three "Deme-2" individuals.  The number of matches falls off at 25 markers, and he has only one near match at 37 markers (in another surname); at 67 markers, he has no matches, at all.
The BITTLES has over 50 matches at 12 markers (in other surnames), but only near matches at 25 markers (23/25 and 24/25, in other surnames).  Because he has no full matches at 25 markers, there is currently no pressing need to upgrade to more markers.  The project admin does, however, recommend upgrading to at least 37 markers because, eventually, additional markers will be needed to gain separation from distant kin (i.e., those not related in "genealogical" time).
The project admin encourages test subjects to join Ysearch, to increase your prospects of making a match and to assist researchers on Haplogroup R1b.  You can join by going to your FTDNA member page and, from your "Y-DNA Matches" tab, clicking the upload to Ysearch link.  You are also encouraged to join the R1b Haplogroup Project, which you can also do from your FTDNA member page by clicking the blue Join icon and choosing the R1b project.
R1b modal values per David Wilson (2008).

What constitutes a match?
Matches in other surnames are usually mere coincidence, so please ignore them — I'll let you know when you shouldn't!
For 12 markers:  9 or less is a non-relative; 10-12, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers:  21 or less is a non-relative; 22-25, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 37 markers:  31 or less is a non-relative; 32-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers:  55 or less is a non-relative; 56-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
