Welcome to the DELANO Kindred DNA surname project. Any male of the surname Delano/DeLano/Delanoy/deLannoy/De La Noy or other spelling variations are eligible and we are seeking descendants who are interested in sharing information to find their common heritage through DNA testing. Our goals are: to authenticate theories regarding our ancestry; resolve genealogical dead ends or brick walls that have member's baffled; reduce the number of unknown lines; validate existing lineages and develop a DNA database for future European research. Please visit www.delanoye.org for more details and explanations of our goals. We are also interested in researching the Mahieu line. On 13 Jan. 1596 Peter du Bu and Gysbert Lano, the groom's father, were witneses at the betrothal of Jan de Lano and Mary Mahieu. [NEHGR 143:197-199]
