There seem to have been earlier attempts to link the Delano Family [as in
Franklin Delano Roosevelt] to the de Lannoy Family.

But, I understand these attempts have failed or even been shown to be
fraudulent.

Does anyone have the, no doubt, interesting story on that genealogical
chestnut?

Cheers To Laurent and Yoshiko Ohier,

"I know that most men --- not only those considered clever, but even those
who really are clever and capable of understanding the most difficult
scientific, mathematical or philosophic problems, can seldom discern even
the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit
the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with great
difficulty --- conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught
to others, and on which they have built their lives."
