Shannon Phillips started the project back in 2004 and he is the lead administrator. We maintain two websites for the project, one at Family Tree DNA and one at World Families. Here are links to both websites: https://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/p/phillips/index.html http://www.familytreedna.com/public/PhillipsWorldwide/ The website space at Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) is provided to us for free by FTDNA, which is a commercial DNA testing company. Understandably, FTDNA only allows us to post the DNA results of people who have been tested by their lab on our website at FTDNA. However, the website at World Families is not sponsored by any commercial DNA testing company, so we are free to post the DNA results of people who have been tested by other labs on that website. This is one of the reasons we decided to operate and maintain a second website at World Families in addition to our first website at Family Tree DNA. If you or a male member of your Phillips family has been tested by any DNA testing company other than Family Tree DNA (such as DNA Heritage, Ancestry.com, Oxford Ancestors, Relative Genetics, Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, GeneTree, etc), simply send your DNA results and your Phillips pedigree to me and I will be happy to post them for free on our website at World Families. In addition, even if no male member of your Phillips family has been DNA tested, you are welcome to post your Phillips pedigree on our Phillips pedigree forum which is connected to our website at World Families. Here is a link to our pedigree forum: http://www.wfnforum.net/index.php?topic=6461.0 Although it costs money to get your DNA tested, please realize none of that money goes to the Phillips Worldwide DNA Project. All of the money goes to the lab that does the testing. Phillips Worldwide is operated on a volunteer basis and we are trying to make the project as useful and understandable as possible. If you have any suggestions about how to make our project more useful or understandable, please feel free to contact me at nancy_kiser@hotmail.com or Shannon Phillips at phillipsdnaproj@aol.com.
