Hooray! After months and months of effort, the Phillips book has finally been published. Though a labor of love, this family has been somewhat frustrating. Much has been proven on recent generations, but the origins of the family are still elusive. And, this family has so many descendants so chasing them was very time consuming. It feels really good to have this project done and the results ready to be shared with anyone interested. This is an interesting family with many clues left for us by the ancestors themselves. From letters, diary entries and a memoir, we are able to get a very good view of the lives of this Phillips family. They also were recorded often in government records so we can trace their movements and activities through the  years.

If you are interested, you can obtain a copy of the book for yourself.
