Dottie,
Since your husband is a straight line male Phillips descendant, he should consider joining the Phillips Worldwide DNA project.Here is a link to the website: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/PhillipsWorldwidehttp://www.familytreedna.com/public/PhillipsWorldwide.
DNA studies only work very well thus far on straight line male descendants like your husband, so your husband's DNA is a precious commodity.The DNA test is very painless and only requires him to swab his cheek with a cotton swab.He will get a break with regard to the cost of the test if he participates in the Worldwide Phillips project.The tests themselves cost $99 for a 12 marker test, $169 for a 25 marker test, and $219 for a 37 marker test. A male Phillips cousin of mine is participating and he decided to go with the 25 marker test because it is more detailed and specific.
I believe that these DNA studies are the beginning of a brave new frontier in genealogy.
Sincerely,
Nancy Kiser
