In this issue we include information about the 2016 Reunion in Norwich, CT. We were pleased that three DELANOs from Chile attended our gathering in Norwich. We continue with part two of the life of Joel Andrew Delano, the compiler of the GHAAHD published in 1899. We are pleased to include a contributed article about Mystery DELANOs, which tells how an erroneous and confusing genealogical line in the GHAAHD was discovered through YDNA testing. The months of October through February have many dates that are significant to our family and some are included in this issue. You may remember some of these. We are pleased to also include a copy of a Thanksgiving poem written by Sarah M. DELANO-Cornell. We also pay tribute to departed members who are no longer with us. We send you our best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. DELANO KINDRED CONTRIBUTIONS December 31^st is fast approaching.
