History

The oldest known ancestor is Gillion de l'Annoit, who lived in the 13th century. Many of his descendants were members of the Order of the Golden Fleece. They played a prominent role in Flanders during the Middle Ages. Different family branches and lines existed amongst the Lords of Beaurepaire, Clervaux, Princes of Sulmona and Princes of Rheina-Wolbeck.

One branch of the family supposedly became the influential American Delano family through its progenitor, Philip Delano. However, the possible connection between the two has never been proven. A branch of the family supposedly engaged in the transatlantic slave trade, resulting in an existing lineage of the family in South America and the Caribbean.
