Surnames: Dekelver Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/7aB.2ACEAE/771.4 Message Board Post: Hello. Because of Laurine's postings and my own curiousity, I went to www.familysearch.org and did a search for the DEKELVER surname. I saw that the name probably comes from Belgium. But, I also saw that there were several families, or a very large extended family, with surname DEKELVER.. in Wisconsin, USA. I checked my USA wall map and see that the northern border of Wisconsin is not all that far from the Manitoba Province in Canada. So, some of the families could have very easily migrated from Wisconsin to Manitoba in the very early 1900's.
