Two days ago a man with the last name Phillips joined the project. His yDNA indicates he belongs to Haplogroup R1a, which is generally considered to be a Slavic haplogroup. We only have about half a dozen out of more than 400 men in our Phillips DNA project who belong to Haplgroup R1a. I asked our new participant about his roots and he told me his great grandfather was Dimitro Pilipiv from the Ukraine. When his grandfather immigrated to the USA, he changed his last name to Phillips. More proof that DNA analysis really does work!
