See how we connect to John and Phoeby in our Family Tree

The name and logo for Delahoyde Publishing is inspired by the life of Stephanie's maternal Great Grandparents. 

Our family name is Dullahide,
originally spelled ‘Delahoyde’.  Loosely translated , Delahoyde means ‘of the hide’. 

Stephanie's Great Grandfather, John Thomas Dullahide, was a stockman in outback Queensland where he also tanned hides. Together with his wife, Phoeby Agnes Ryan, he worked the land.

His activity of tanning the hides is our inspiration for linking our writing and publishing to the old family name.
Hides are used to make parchment which, in the past, was used to record information for posterity.

Likewise, we record our stories for posterity and share them through our Delahoyde brand.
​
We hope our stories inspire, encourage and entertain you.

We are Delahoydes
Our ancestors travelled from the verdant lands of Ireland 
To the harsh wilderness of Australia ... and thrived!  
We, ourselves, have travelled and some of us still do ... 
Still seeking to find where in this world we belong. 
We have learned that we all belong to the same family.   
We are the product of great men and women who have given us so much.
In turn, we leave our legacy to those who will follow.  
We are Delahoydes
