Our Philosophy

The idea behind this Discussion Group, our Wiki and Website is to share and discuss with other researchers your Phillips familyâ's research. Sharing and comparing your research with other family researchers will benefit the entire group. This sharing reflects back on our Discussions Group main focus, that is, sorting out early North Carolina Phillips Families. When you share your research with other researchers, your contributions will assure that your efforts will be available to future generations.
