Hi, Ken and Barbara, This is Nancy Kiser, the Assistant Administrator of the Phillips Worldwide DNA Project. Unfortunately, it does not appear that your two lines of Phillips are related. Ken's yDNA indicates that he belongs to Family Group 18 and Barbara's cousin Richard belongs to Family Group 27. In fact, Family Group 18 and Family Group 27 do not even belong to the same haplogroup, which means these two Phillips lines cannot be related within thousands of years. Family Group 18 belongs to Haplogroup R1b1c which is believed to be Celtic and Family Group 27 belongs to Haplogroup I1a which is believed to be Scandinavian and possibly Viking. This is one of the reasons that DNA is so useful. It saves us time by preventing us from going off on wild goose chases. I have noticed DNA is confirming the old adage that very few Southerners migrated to New England and very few New Englanders migrated to the South. There were quite a few people from the Middle Colonies (PA, NY, NJ, DE, MD) who migrated to the South, but very few New Englanders (ME, NH, VT, CT, MA).

The name Nicholas is so common in my own lineage that there has to be a connection to your lineage, where it appears also. There are 6 Nicholas in my own research, the last one being Nicholas Phillips, B - 20 Oct 1733 in Weymouth, MA who had a son Nicholas B-12 Apr 1755 in Weymouth, MA. I have no other research for this Nicholas - where he went, married, or anything. I would love to work on the branches to see where they went and maybe find out if they did, indeed, go to the Southern States. Maybe then, we could make a connection?

Dear Nancy, I have found that my own family migrated from MA to NY, then OH, NE and onward. It is strange how families move around. Someday, I hope we all can make THE connection that ties us all together!!! That would be a great day!! Kendell Phillips Cave Junction, OR

Nancy and Ken, Thank you for the info. This at least shows who we are not. And that might indeed mean that we are from the Nicholas from York. Unless there is another Nicholas Phillips. Which certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Nancy, That you know of, has anyone ever done the DNA on the Nicholas of York? Or have we been able to connect it to anybody?
