New Y-DNA results returned from the FTDNA lab for the following participants over the past month.  These participants were added to various groups as follows:

177526 was added to Group 1

178919 was added to Group 8

179979 was added to Group 10

180071 was added to Group 32

181543 was added to I Singletons

180167 was added to R1b Singletons

As these results indicate, we continue to see about 70% of our participants match an existing or new family group and about 30% of our participants fail to match anyone else named Phillips.  This has been the trend since 2006.  Basically, when a Phillips man gets DNA tested, he has about a 2 in 3 chance of immediately matching another man named Phillips.
