Congratulations on your careful and well-documented research. If you have any males relatives named Phillips who would be willing to get their DNA tested, we would love to have them in the DNA project. We are making a concerted effort to recruit more male Phillips in Ireland and the UK in an attempt to identify our deep roots across the pond. The DNA test is painless and only involves swabbing the inside of the cheek to obtain some cheek cells for analysis. The lab mails a kit to the testee and he returns his samples by mail to the lab. His kit is given a number and this is the only way his DNA results are ever identified to preserve his privacy. Here is a link to our website at World Families where you can read our newsletter and learn more about how DNA analysis works in conjunction with DNA analysis and how much the different tests cost: https://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/p/phillips/index.html We have 280 participants in the project thus far and, through DNA analysis, have identified 35 distinct, unrelated Phillips families. In addition, we have almost 80 men who do not match anyone else in the project. Hope you have a male Phillips relative who decides to join!

Hi Roger, That's good information. It is a mystery to me how the CDs of that book can be so widely sold and yet NOT have the section included the Phillips families, The original book had a very extensive fan chart in the back also which was not in the cd. The only review of the book I have seen was written in the New England Quarterly in June 1945 by Clifton Shipton of Harvard University. He wrote a generally positive review , although he was critical that she abrogated the family coats of arms for several families and used them when the Americans were not so entitled (he says) and that she mis-identified "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", calling it instead the "New England Historical and Biographical Records". He also took a poke at her for saying "early immigrants of the New England colonies were almost to a man persons of high, noble , and virtuous character"-as though that was a naive perception, but then he goes on to say that this spirit of ancestor worship has produced a very useful tool, a tool the making of which has required years of painful labor which only such a faith could inspire". Although they are not MY family. I am impressed by the documented depth of character of the Phillips ancestors I have run across. A great great grandfather who enlists in the Union Army at 19, fights at Appomattox, is shot "clean through the knee" there, recovers for a year at home, then re-enlists as a teamster (as a casualty), then has his ammunition wagon blown up , sending him over 20 ft in the air, falls in such a way that the left side of his chest is crushed-then lives until the 1930s with a bad limp and coughing up blood -but farming successfully.
