Anciently DeLancey

( La fille ainee de l'Eglise)

Clotilde 475-545 was born in Burgundian Court of Lyon the  daughter of King Chilperic II of Burgundy and his wife Carentena Chilperic II reigned Lyon and Valence. His father was Gondio d.473 his brothers reigned Gundobald at Vienne and Godegesil at Geneva. Remember Guy II of Laval the Bald my research will see if there is  a close relation here since the names resemble each other some what. It is so that Lyon is a variation of DeLancey or could it be the other way around. I'm thinking the Lan is of some significance. So here are two posible connections to~of DeLancey and Guy II of  Laval the Bald and Gundobald and  father who reigned Lyon. This future information I find will definetly be on this site perhaps page two or three. Now is 12-6-2010 at 7:22 P.M. E.S.T.

delta of the Yssel.....This is a great find because I also found some names starting with Y mainly female although there could be male also. I will have them here soon. I am currious of York and will find a connection if there is one on the spelling and meaning of how these names that start with Y came to be. It is a most ubundant challenge for me to do this with all literaturic ventures, so every now and then you will see my ambitious way of study being shared with all.

It was an important source of raw material - especially gold - and was a crucial conduit of trade from central Africa. Another thriving area during the period was the Fayum, an oasis area 100 km (62 miles) south of Cairo, which saw major irrigation and other public works. Amongst these were two kings pyramids, and of them being the monument shown here, of Amenemhat III at Hawara.
