Source Timelines: A source timeline is a list of sources with dates, abstracts, and the source location in a timeline format, grouped by year, decade, and century. At this time, all source timelines and the sources searched list are private as they are works in progress. Currently, the majority of the information relates to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The source timelines will be published in phases as available sources are abstracted by location and profiles are written.
Phases
Phase 1: The majority of the research for Phillis families living in Guernsey County, Ohio in the 1800s and their descendants has been completed and will be published in 2022 with profiles written for those individuals as they are published.
Phase 2: A large portion of the Phillis research for Pennsylvania and their descendants has been completed and will be published following the Ohio phase 1 research later in 2022.
Phase 3: The last phase of the project will add global Phillis family members, those with alternative spellings, and those that migrated to the United States in locations outside of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
