Answer 1

I thinku should. u could learn more about ur family

Answer 2

What does it matter what anyone thinks about this?  If you want to know more........research it.  If you are not interested in knowing more, then leave it alone.  It's that simple.

Answer 3

Sure, why not?? If they are still living, they could be a wealth of information about your ancestors. My maternal grandmother lived to be 84 and she was always talking about how she grew up with 11 brothers and sisters, and how BOTH  her mother** and father came from a family of 12 surviving children (each family had a total of 13, but the first one died in infancy, and thus left an even dozen), and then when they met each other and got married, they kept up the "tradition". We always called it  the "story of the sixes and sevens"--the families would start with 7 boys & 6 girls, and end up as 6 each.

     I also got to know my great-grandmother** before she died. One thing I always remember about her was her "old Indian remedy" to cure a fever--she said to barely warm a thin slice of onion, place it in a white or light-colored cloth, and pin it around the feverish  person's foot with the onion against the sole of the foot, and then put on a pair of white socks. When you smelled the onion cooking--so to speak--it meant it was drawing the fever out of the body. You would be amazed at how well it works, too.  :)

Anyway, I would definitely find out what you can about your grandmothers. It's unusual, to start with, that their names are so similar. In fact, here's what www.behindthename.com

says about them:

DELPHINA  

Gender: Feminine

Feminine form of the Roman name Delphinus, which meant "of Delphi" in Latin. Delphi was a city in ancient Greece, the site of an oracle of Apollo. The name of the city is possibly related to Greek (delphis) "dolphin". The Blessed Delphina was a 14th-century nun from Provence, France.

DELPHINE is the French form of Delphina; and DELFINA is the Italian/Spanish form of it.

There are 7,598 people in the U.S. with the first name Delfina.

Statistically the 2138th most popular first name.

More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Delfina are female.

There are 0 people in the U.S. with the last name Enas (said it wasn't in their data base. For privacy reasons, names with relatively few responses were not included ).

Answer 4

Of course you should! These are the people that connect us to our past, and give us a sense of identity. The fact that both have the same name makes it even more interesting. It is a beautiful and romantic name. Delphine is probably French, and Delphina might be Greek.

Talk to your relatives and get some pictures if possible. This could be an exciting project for you. Go for it!
