The Phillips DNA Project

Results just returned from the lab for kit number 156136 and his yDNA matches another member of the project who tested through Ancestry.com.  These two men trace their Phillips roots back to Dutchess and Ulster Counties, New York in the early 1800s.  Their yDNA is rather interesting and unusual.  Ancestry.com says they belong to Haplogroup I2, but FTDNA is not sure and is running a backbone SNP test on 156136.  According to Whit Athey's haplogroup predictor, they belong to Haplogroup G2a, which is a very rare haplogroup.
