Hi, Giselle:

I recall contacting you some years ago when your name came across my Facebook feed. We determined then that we didn't have any close relatives in common since I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, but most certainly our last name must have had a common origin. Originally, we spelled it "De Lancer" and also "D'Lancer" , but it was too confusing for most people, so we simplified it once we got to the United States. Thanks for contacting me about it. Cheers

Dear Ercilia,
I can see that your name is very similar with mine : Delance.
We probably have the same ancestors... and your name was changed as it happen often.
You can read my story https://www.amazon.com/dp/9783640844/...
I would be happy to receive sone news from you.
Giselle Delance from Switzerland
