Hi Lyn, Yes, they are from Fife as it seems most with the Philp surname originally were. The rest of the family stayed in Scotland though my direct ancestors left. Which Philp family are you researching? So far I have traced my Philps back to the early 1800s and the other Scottish lines of the family farther. Mine lived in areas such as Kinglassie, Cupar, and Markinch in Fife. Please feel free to contact me off-list if you'd prefer. Thanks, Liz Loveland
