HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

1. Recruit a male Phillips member of your Phillips family to submit his cheek cells for a DNA test.  This is a painless procedure that only involves swabbing the inside of your cheek in the privacy of your own home.  Click on the word Order in the gray bar above to read about costs and how to place an order for the kit.

2. Submit your known Phillips family tree to the Administrator of this project to be posted on our Patriarchs Page.  You can submit your Phillips family tree without finding a male Phillips family member who will take the DNA test, although we highly recommend DNA testing to confirm your Phillips family tree.  Click on the word Patriarchs in the gray bar above to view Phillips pedigrees of our current members.

3. The participant will receive DNA results indicating whether or not he matches one of our existing Phillips family groups or another unmatched member in the project.  Even if the participant does not initially match anyone in the project, he will receive notification of matches as other members join our project.  Click on the word Disc in the gray bar above to read more about how DNA analysis works in genealogical research and to view pending results.

GOALS:

1. Help researchers on common or related families work together to find their common heritage.  Click on the the word Patriarchs in the gray bar above to see Phillips pedigrees of our current members.  We seek Line Leaders to add Family History information and help bring focus to this Project.

2. Identify the DNA of the ancestor families and compile them and their lost branches into distinct genetic lineages through DNA matches.  Click on the word y-Results in the gray bar above to see the DNA results of our current members.  This page may take a minute or so to open depending on the speed of your internet connection.

3. Recruit more participants from the British Isles, Ireland and mainland Europe in an attempt to identify the deep roots of all Phillips families.  If you are a male Phillips (or any variation of the name Phillips) and you live in the British Isles, Ireland or Europe, we may be willing to pay for your basic 12 marker DNA test if you are willing to supply a Phillips pedigree that goes back at least 5 generations.
