This is the family web page of Ric, Barb and Ashley Phillips
Please have a look around. I am working on adding items to this site all the time. If I am
lucky, I will be changing this site often so please come back and have a look. Be sure to let me know what
you think of the site....
Family Photos
The first reason I started this site was to provide my parents, brothers, sister and their families the
opportunity to see my daughter grow-up over the years. As we live in Severn, Maryland, the parents are in Florida, one
Brother is in Tennessee, the other brother is roaming the world and my sister is in North Carolina, getting to
together is a logistical and traveling nightmare. Through this web page we can always be close.
Family Genealogy
This is the second reason I started this web page. I began sifting through the Phillips Family genealogy upon my
retirement, October 2001, from the United States Air Force. I had never thought about where my Great-Grandparents
were born. Like many citizens in the United States, I assumed that, like I, they were born and raised right here in
the U. S. of A. Much to my shock, not only was my Great-Grandfather not born in the U.S. (he was born in Scotland), but
his father (my Great-Great-Grandfather) didn't fight in the Civil War. This was a great surprise to me. So after
retirement, I spent my free hours researching the family history. Now, four years later, I'm proud to say I can trace
the Phillips family tree back nine (9) generations, well into the mid-1700's.
