[Note: The census taker wrote the last name as Delancy, but this is definitely the Dolina family based on the named of the children, ages and birth locations. I'm still scratching my head as to how Rhoda Jimmie, or Argie as she was called, became Paptolana. I located them by finding Paul, since he was born in Oklahoma, and the other children born later were from McDowell Co. WV.

At times the family used the name Delancy. Regina Lauer, John's great granddaughter said their family pronounced the name Delaney which was close to the pronunciation of Delancy. Frank has 2 KY birth certificates, his first one with the name Franklin Delancy and the other several years later as Franklin Dolina. June used the name Delancy on her marriage certificate in 1943, but her sister Helen used Dolina on her marriage certificate in 1943. Both sisters were married in Norfolk, VA within a few months of each other. And to make things even more confusing, Rhoda is listed as Ruth on some records.

The Oklahoma branch of the family, the brother who adopted three of John's children after their death, pronounced the name "Doe-line-a", but Robert Dolina, told his children his father pronounced the name "Doe-lee-na."]

[Note: The census taker wrote the last name as Delancy for all of the members, but this is definitely the Dolina family based on the names of the children, their ages and birthplaces. I'm still trying to figure out how Rhoda (Argie) became Paptolana. She was the one who gave the information. I'm wondering if she had a sense of humor and gave a made-up name to see if the person would put it down. I located the family by searching for Paul since he had been born in OK and the later children were born in McDowell Co. WV.

At times the family used the name Delancy. Regina Lauer, John's great granddaughter said their family pronounced the name Delaney which was close to the pronunciation of Delancy.
