The search for family roots is for the Family PHILLIPS. First name is David. He and his wife Bessie came from Russia/Poland, area of Suwalki at about the turn of the century and settled in New Haven, CT. The family name was either Filipowski or Filipkowski, although there are other variations these seem to be the best so far. Bessie died, he married a 2nd time but nothing is known of his 2nd wife. He later moved to Norwich and remained there until he moved to New York City to live with a daughter, Sadie. He died there around 1948 although the date is a guess on my part. He had a brother, Herman, (Hymie in the old country.) One known sister, Dora. (Her Russian/Polish name is unknown.) David's first two children were born in Russia/Poland, Rose and Joe. Later children born in the States and I believe that all were from CT. were Benjamin, Abe, Harry and Sadie. I know for certain that Ben. was born in New Haven, 5-10-10. If anything rings a bell please let me known. Thanks very much Marty Phillips mbarry@jps.net mbarry@jps.net
