05/05/2009: A British Match for Family Group 8! Print E-mail

Phillips Family Group 8 has gotten their first match with a living man in England!  Last month, Group 8 discovered that their yDNA matches yDNA recovered from some 3000-year-old Bronze Age skeletons found in a cave in Germany.  Now they have a match with a British man who traces his Phillips line back to the early 1700s in Birmingham.  This suggests that this particular line of Phillips was probably part of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of England during the Dark Ages.
