hell-o I'm part of a group that takes care of a lighthouse on the delaware river in paulsboro NJ. It is call the Tinicum Light. I would like to know if the word is from the dialect of early native Americans that lived in this area south of Philadelphia Pa.? This could possibly go back as early as 1625 when the Swedes came to the area. & is "tini" a
word with a meaning of first?

I am extremely impressed with this sight. I come from a very famous and long line of Turtle clan Lenape...my people were settled in the Tulsa / Bartlesville area. I am a decendant of Chief Charles Journeycake and Mahwatse' ( the last keeper of the delaware dolls ).
Keep your research alive, I think what you are doing is absolutely wonderous. Wanishi'- Lauren

Thank you for this great website, where I can learn about the original people who lived where I now live, near the Delaware River in central NJ.

I believe my great grand mother was a Lenni Lenape. She married my white great grand father, last name was Swift. I dearly hope this is true,but none of my aunts or uncles well talkabout her. All I can gather is that after my grand father, Norman Swift married my grand mother Mary Emma Chambers, then all of Norman's siblings were raise by them. I know that my great grand mother's first name was Sally or so she was called by the rest of the family. I am very proud to be part native american/Lenni Lenape. May the People live on our hearts forever.
