Speaking of..Native American Several months back, someone was on this list looking for Phillips (Native American) that was possibly around Greene County Alabama.....perhaps a Coleman Phillips. If your still around..email me please. Thanks Sharon

Yep..which would mean that line of Phillips was nothing but Native American and not only that..what if a Phillips married a native girl.... the offspring are native AND Phillips! I could swear we did this before not long ago...on this list? *wink* Tootles Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 5:32 PM Subject: Re: [PHILLIPS] Rebecca Phillips Walls > Bryan: > > Native Americans frequently adopted a surname of their choice when asked to > do so after the Trail of Tears journey. > > Doug Phillips > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

After re-reading Dennis' post, I understand your response. Of course, when I read it the first time, I immediately understood him to mean ethnicity rather than the etymology of the surname. We don't often rely on etymology to immediately connotate ethnicity in the U.S. - our history won't allow it (with colonization being just as rampant elsewhere, I can't imagine too many other countries have this luxury in their genealogical research either, do they?). So I immediately assumed he wasn't talking about the origin of the surname. Hopefully Peggy and Dennis understood each other better than the rest of us! ;) As for my use of the word indian, hopefully I didn't offend anyone. No one I know that is indian actually calls themselves native american. But native american IS the more politically correct word to use, as Sharon said. Best to everyone! I promise not to post anymore on this! ;) Sherri captbrian <[email protected]> wrote: Being a Brit., the word 'Indian' means from India to me - I've been there and never met a Phillips - but I realise that it means what I call red indian over in US. Nevertheless an indian person may well call himself Phillips but that no more makes Phillips an 'indian' name than my calling myself Geronimo would make Geronimo a Welsh name.

Also, among my ancestors in the late 1700's, two are believed to have married a Cherokee and their children would be half-breeds, but their surname was Phillips

Bryan: Native Americans frequently adopted a surname of their choice when asked to do so after the Trail of Tears journey. Doug Phillips

Capt. - Carl is one of many indian folks with the last name Phillips in the U.S. Take a visit anywhere in the southern part of the country (NC, VA, GA, TN, MO, OK, AR, TX), and you'll meet indian people with the last name Phillips. In OK alone, there are PLENTY of people with the last name. The name may be welsh, but that doesn't mean everyone who has the last name is or was ever welsh.

Like everyone else, I would like to have the board gatewayed. I think we are all quite capable of deleting any message we may be uninterested in. No need to go out of your way to unsub and/or keep track of offenders. If we own computers, we should have enough sense to learn/know how to use them. We can be our own filters.
