Hi: I read with interest that "all Phillips" lines come from Wales. I had heard that my husband's Phillips family were Welsh. However, John Carter Phillips, born c. 1847 in Guelph, Ontario, gave his ethnic origin as German on the 1901 and 1911 Canadian census. He moved to the states some time before 1872 where he married Viola Ackley in Clay County, Iowa. Viola was born in Wisconsin. I am having trouble finding any further information about John Carter Phillips, particularly his parents. Does anyone recognize this family. Cheers, Bobbie

Barbara, Your post is very confusing. You say your John Carter Phillips was born about 1847 in Guelph, Ontario. Also, that he moved to the states before 1872, and married Viola Ackley in Iowa. Yet, you found him in the 1901 and 1911 Canadian census??? So, he moved back to Canada? You should be able to find his family listed in the 1851 Ontario Census, which does list all family members. Good luck. Bob Phillips Columbus, Ohio
not all Phillips families originated from Wales this is false information, It is a Welsh name. A lot of phillips ancestors, originated from germany,poland, amd a lot of jewish,s countries. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Phillips" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 6:39 AM Subject: Re: [PHILLIPS] false information about Phillips Family ofWestVirginia > Hi: > > I read with interest that "all Phillips" lines come from Wales.
