Hi, Dee. So, your father's name is Bill Depp? You were born in 1940, so that means he was probably born around 1920-22. Was he from Chicago or Kentucky? If he is from Kentucky, you're in luck. The Depp roots in Kentucky are very deep and easy to trace.

Most Kentucky Depps are descendants of Peter Depp (1735-1807), the great farmer/ plantation owner in Barren County, KY.

Your name is Delia. Oddly enough, there was a Dela Wara Depp who died in Jefferson County (Louisville), KY on 30 Aug 1917.

Tell me where your father was from and his race and I'll let you know what I have.

Happy huntin'.
