This is my periodic update on the status of the project. The Phillips Worldwide DNA Project currently has 262 members. We have now identified 32 separate, distinct Phillips families that are not related to each other within a genealogical time frame, which means they are not related to each other within 600 to 1000 years. In addition, we have over 70 participants who do not match anyone else in the project. As of this date (Tuesday, April 15, 2008), nineteen kits are being processed at the lab. Seven of those kits are for new participants, and the rest are upgrades and refinements of the DNA of existing members. Some of the new results are due back from the lab by the first of May. Here are links to our websites at World Families and Family Tree DNA where you can review the DNA and pedigrees of our participants: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/p/phillips/index.html http://www.familytreedna.com/public/PhillipsWorldwide/ Sincerely, Nancy Kiser Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
