Answer 1

Hey dane p,

Here are some sites that might help. The first is the US Ellis Island site. They do track fairly well. They had variants on the name Phillipson as you have it.

Philipson 97%
Philippson 96%
Philipsson 96%
Phillipsen 96%
Philipsen 95%
Phellipson 94%
Philippsen 94%
Phillapson 94%
Phillipsov 94%
Phelipson 93%
Philipsohn

You will need to register, but it is free. Perhaps your ancestors went through the port of NY.

You could try the geneal links Rust Skipper listed. Roots Web World Connect has some Kiwis, although 80% of the data is about us Yanks and our European ancestors.
