Philp o Phillips Family of Fife, Scotland
« on: Saturday 28 June 25 01:35 BST (UK) »
Hello. I'm from Costa Rica. My family arrived here in May 1852, 173 years ago. These great-grandparents who arrived here were born in 1824 in Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland, and my great-grandmother in Lochlee, Angus, Scotland. Here, we are 1,023 Phillips descendants of this great-grandfather. A few weeks ago, we received our DNA results from FTDNA BIG Y 700, and I have mixed feelings: our DNA has never been recorded in Scotland; it's a new lineage for genetic science, traced through my test. I gave my children, my father, and a fourth cousin, traced 7 months ago in London, so we determined it wasn't a mistake by the company. We all have the same DNA, of which nothing is known, only from our great-grandfather, who lived 5,500 years ago and was part of the first wave of humans in Scotland. There are no more than 350 people in Scotland with this DNA, which makes it very difficult to know my recent family (1,200 years in the present). I've been searching for my family for 35 years and "I found the door and it seems empty inside," but I haven't lost hope of deciphering who they were. Our genealogy then goes back deeper to 1620 in Dunfermline, and with some hesitation, I've moved forward two more generations. I'm sharing a photo of my wife and me, the YFULL DNA results, and photos of the founders of our lineage in Costa Rica: Andrew Phillips and Ann Low. We have Viking ancestry in our DNA. FTDNA I-FTG16273 Nordtvedt I2a2a D Isles. YFULL YF132462 − I -Y20866

 The Phillips or Philp of Scotland should have DNA tests done to group the family and maybe some institution or university that carries out genetic studies, I have already located a fourth cousin and the test was done and we came out 100% identical in DNA ... that is the issue, locate them and make them see the opportunity to decipher our origin, although it is clear that around the year 3000 BC in Scotland an ancestor is located, let's imagine that this is the beginning and the end that I am, but the part that unites the two nothing is known, it is a genetic-documentary gap, it is a gap from this year 3000 BC to the present or the year 2025 that nothing is known.

Sincerely,
Richard Phillips
