PHILLIPS, all
« on: Wednesday 17 March 10 19:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello, my name is Nancy Kiser and I am the volunteer administrator of a Phillips DNA project and one-name study.  Here are links to our independent website and our website at GOONS:

http://www.phillipsdnaproject.com/
http://one-name-study.phillipsdnaproject.com/

Our project has been in existence for four years and has over 450 participants.  We have identified more than 60 distinct, unrelated Phillips families in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, United States, Canada and other countries around the world.  The Phillips lineages of our participants are posted on the yLineages pages at our independent website.

Since the surname Phillips has deep roots in the British Isles, we would like to encourage more participation from the British Isles in an attempt to identify the heritage of Phillips worldwide.  To that end, we are offering free DNA tests to any men named Phillips who live in the British Isles and who are willing to supply a five generation Phillips lineage.

I am a lucky American who has scored a DNA match with a British man.  He traces his Phillips lineage back to the early 1700s in the Birmingham area.  We have unusual yDNA for a family named Phillips and our DNA matches the DNA of some 3000 year old Bronze Age skeletons found in a cave in Germany.  These facts lead us to the conclusion that our Phillips line is probably Anglo-Saxon and may have been a part of the Anglo-Saxon invasion associated with the formation of Mercia in the English Midlands during the 500s and 600s.

It would be very interesting and rewarding to help everyone in our project make the same kind of connections and discoveries I have been able to make through DNA testing.  The DNA test is painless and private and merely consists of swabbing the inside of the cheek to obtain some cells for analysis.  The DNA donor can be kept entirely anonymous.  If anyone reading this message is interested, you may contact me on this message board or through the contact page provided on our independent website.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message and I hope to hear from some of you soon!

Sincerely,
Nancy Kiser
