...to the DELANO KINDRED Web Site!

The DELANO KINDRED was founded in 1991 for the purpose of exploring the ancestry and genealogy of our common ancestor, Philippe de Lanoy. Philippe was born to Jan and Marie de Lanoy around 1602 in Leiden, Holland, and was baptized there on the 6th of November, 1603. In 1621, Philippe arrived in Plimoth (now Plymouth, Massachusetts) on the ship Fortune and some time later changed his name to Philip Delano. He is the progenitor of the Delano family in America.

2013 Reunion Information

WHERE: San Antonio, Texas, at the Crockett Hotel

WHEN: September 19 - 22, 2013 The 2013 Reunion Extra newsletter contains the information you need to know about the 2013 DELANO KINDRED Reunion that will be held in San Antonio, Texas, 19 to 22 September at the historic Crockett Hotel. You will note that the 2013 Annual DELANO KINDRED Membership Meeting will be held in conjunction with the reunion at 9:00 AM in the hotel on Saturday, 21 September, 2013. We thank Cousin Elizabeth Clarke and the Reunion Committee for providing the information enclosed in this newsletter.

Many DELANOs came to Texas. At least one (Oliver H. DELANO) fought for the "Independence of Texas" under General Sam Houston. Some served in the Texas contingents of Confederate States Army. Others came after the Civil War, and today they are still coming to the Lone Star State.

San Antonio is loaded with things to do and see. We are fortunate that the Reunion Committee was able to secure group reservations at the Crockett Hotel, located near the Alamo and also close to the San Antonio Trolley Tour Office. You can conveniently arrange to take a tour of San Antonio or a tour of the surrounding countryside. You will find the hotel is located in the center of many of the city's attractions. San Antonio should be a very exciting city in which to hold a reunion. Please note that hotel reservations should be booked by 19 August to secure the special room rate. We look forward to seeing you there!
