Birth name I listed is on sealed birth certificate which I have never seen. I am in touch with birth relatives on both maternal and paternal side. The name Phippen is the maiden name of my birth mother (deceased.) Fillingham was her married name and is not a name of any of my direct ancestors. On this site, I am interested in exploring my maternal ancestors, as they are the ones who were early settlers in the North American colonies that are now the U.S.A.
