[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."]

Notes:

From her brother, Patrick's obituary:

..... born to John and Argie (Tate) Dolina. Pat?s natural father was an electrician in the coal mines. Pat?s father died of a massive heart attack at the early age of 43 leaving his mother who had no working skills to raise the remaining nine children left in the home.

Because they lived in a coal miner?s house that had to be vacated thirty days after his father?s death, the family moved to an old shack that had no plumbing and an outdoor water well high in the mountains of Roderfield, W. Virginia. Because of the abject poverty and the health conditions of the children, Donna, Pat and Mike were adopted at the age of three and two months by their Uncle and Aunt, Robert and Ida Mae Dolina and brought to Tulsa to spend the rest of their childhood growing up in the historical Tracey Park addition. They brought to them the lifelong home in Tulsa.

Pat had a 39 year separation from his birth family, not knowing his natural mother, brothers and sisters. In 1989, by Divine Intervention, Donna, Pat, Mike and families traveled back to Welch, W. Virginia to the home of their oldest sister Bernice to meet all of their other brothers, sisters and family members. It was one of the highlights in Pat?s life other than the births of his two daughters.

Donna married Jerry Don Clark. [Group Sheet]

Donna married Charles Nichols. [Group Sheet]

The site also has a photo of Patrick.

Patrick Charles Dolina, 62 years old completed his earthly life on December 17, 2010 traveling instantly into the waiting arms of his Lord and Savior. Heavenly transformed, eternally young, healthy and with natural red hair, he donned his heavenly crown, to never look back on the ravages of suffering again.

How can you describe the life of a dynamic person like Pat in a few words? It can?t be done. He began life?s adventure on November 14, 1948 in #4 hollow in Premiere, West Virginia. He was originally named Jerry Lloyd which was changed to Pat after his adoption. He was the first twin born five minutes before his brother Mike. They were the thirteenth and fourteenth children born to John and Argie (Tate) Dolina. Pat's natural father was an electrician in the coal mines. Pat's father died of a massive heart attack at the early age of 43 leaving his mother who had no working skills to raise the remaining nine children left in the home.

Because they lived in a coal miner's house that had to be vacated thirty days after his father's death, the family moved to an old shack that had no plumbing and an outdoor water well high in the mountains of Roderfield, W.

Because of the abject poverty and the health conditions of the children, Donna, Pat and Mike were adopted at the age of three and two months by their Uncle and Aunt, Robert and Ida Mae Dolina and brought to Tulsa to spend the rest of their childhood growing up in the historical Tracey Park addition. They brought to them the lifelong home in Tulsa.

Pat had a full and productive life in Tulsa being a member of the Order of the Demolays Delta chapter. He attended Lincoln Elementary, Horace Mann Jr. High and graduated with the Central High class of 1967. Pat loved sports and excelled in athletics. Wrestling and football was his game. Pat was baptized as a child, accepted Christ as his personal savior at an early age and was a member of Boston Avenue Methodist Church. Pat was also a 32 degree Mason with Lodge 543 and a shriner.

Pat had a 39 year separation from his birth family, not knowing his natural mother, brothers and sisters. In 1989, by Divine Intervention, Donna, Pat, Mike and families traveled back to Welch, W. Virginia to the home of their oldest sister Bernice to meet all of their other brothers, sisters and family members. It was one of the highlights in Pat?s life other than the births of his two daughters.

Pat and Beverly Morse were married for 11 years and two daughters, Dawn and Kimberly were blessed from this union and they later divorced. Pat later remarried Valerie Sandejo who had two young boys with no Father. Pat adopted Jay and Corey and raised them as his own and was called "Dad" very affectionately. Pat and Valerie also later divorced.

Pat served for 18 years in the military in the U.S. Army branch achieving the rank of Sgt. Pat served in the communications area of the service and was very intelligent to learn and decode Morse Code messages from our foreign enemies. After 18 years in the service Pat went to work as a machinist for John Crane working his way up to shop foreman for 17 years. Pat also taught machine shop and CNC programming at the Tulsa VO Tech. Pat also assisted in establishing Superior Gauge Svc in the late 1970's.

Until his health began to fail him, Pat was a very active, independent and always a strong willed but responsible man. He could always be counted on and had a wonderful work ethic. Pat loved to watch OU and especially OSU football, The Dallas Cowboys as well as other favorite teams. Pat's passion was fishing and he could be found numerous weekends at Grand Lake on his house boat or bass fishing in the coves with his brother Mike.

Pat's personality could best be described as sweet, stubborn, funny, loving and very generous to others!!! He would do anything for a friend or a relative. Pat is reunited with many loved ones. He is preceded in death by four sisters, Bernice Patsey of Welch, Helen Hunter of Sandyville, W. Virginia, Joan Tolnay of Premiere, W. Virginia, Bobbie Yvonne of Maryland, and two brothers, Donald of Hyattville, Maryland and John Robert, Maryland. Birth Parent, John and Argie Dolina, W. Virginia and adopted parents, Bob and Ida Mae Dolina, Tulsa

Virginia and June Ball of Maryland. Four brothers including his fraternal twin, Mike and wife Linda of Tulsa and Franklin, Paul and Jimmy all of Maryland. Pat is survived with many nieces and nephews and cousins that he enjoyed visiting and being around.

A memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Wed. December 22, 2010 at the Moore's Southlawn funeral home with Pat's earthly shell being cremated.

I'll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new, I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you?.

Notes:

From his brother Patrick's obituary:

They were the thirteenth and fourteenth children born to John and Argie (Tate) Dolina. Pat?s natural father was an electrician in the coal mines. Pat?s father died of a massive heart attack at the early age of 43 leaving his mother who had no working skills to raise the remaining nine children left in the home.

Because they lived in a coal miner?s house that had to be vacated thirty days after his father?s death, the family moved to an old shack that had no plumbing and an outdoor water well high in the mountains of Roderfield, W. Virginia. Because of the abject poverty and the health conditions of the children, Donna, Pat and Mike were adopted at the age of three and two months by their Uncle and Aunt, Robert and Ida Mae Dolina and brought to Tulsa to spend the rest of their childhood growing up in the historical Tracey Park addition. They brought to them the lifelong home in Tulsa.
