Hello Iris. NEHGS = New England Historic Genealogical Society. For your proofs, I recommend you obtain the book, "The Genealogy History and Alliances of the American House of Delano 1621 to 1899" by Major Joel Andrew Delano. The NEHGS published it and the GSMD (General Society of Mayflower Descendants) has a copy. This book will give you good information to start your Delano searches and then you can supplement its data with actual records from towns wherever possible. I also connect the same lines you do for a couple of generations, but depart with a child of Jonathan Delano and Hannah Doty. Nonetheless, I have many generations of Delano and have found the book helpful (if hard to sort through). Good luck, cousin!
