OUR FAMILY NAME IN HISTORY: THE DEHANEY, DUHANEY, DAHANEY

[blackempressss]

Our family name is the tip of the Iceberg in revealing who we are

and how we fit into the framework of humanity. The generations

before us who shaped our lives both directly and indirectly.

We sometimes wonder where we come from and what our name

mean and where it originated and why the people who share our

name chose to leave their homelands and the obstacles they faced

on their journeys to a new home. Their journeys and destinies

ultimately helped shape and define our family life today.

What was the psychological toll and courage it took to leave

all that was familiar to start a new life.

The Dehaney Family came from Ireland to the United States of American

as early as in the 1800 but its also possible that the Dehaney Family

from Ireland could have come from another country settled in Ireland

then come to the United States of America/Canada and Jamaica.

There is magic in discovering more about who we are and the tales

of those people who lived before us.

As humans, we witness, collect, and record information

as best we can our information can be only as accurate

as the people who recorded it; " to err is human, to

forgive divine. Family name sometimes evolved over

time and some families change there name for various

reasons. Remember always that sometimes the sounding

of a name is how people will spell the name just a

mis-stroke of a pen can make a difference.

However, the Duhaney, Dehaney,Dahaney and

any sort of variations within this sound of the

name is still the same bloodline of the family.


"History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give

us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common

humanity, so we can better face the future."

We ask questions so later when our children and grandchildren

ask who am i? we have answers to share.
