In case this helps (and you don't already have it), in the 1921 Oakland Directory is
Lantz, Caroline (Mrs) 587 15th
- Delbert H Laurel av and Wisconsin

Could there be a chance that Caroline is related?

about the 1932 year that you previously stated.  some where in my small
mind i had read about that date and that the census stated delbert, maud, and delbert jr were all living at the alameda address.  my question was
where was my mom.  delbert born 1909 and she was born 1916. 
as to your recent e-mail.  yes i do have that directory and beats me if
caroline is a relative.  she was not at the same address as delbert.  thanks
again.

In case it helps anything, I found articles in the Oakland Tribune that refer to Delbert Lantz Jr., an assistant zookeeper living at 3217 Wisconsin street, being attacked by a lion in 1926.  It said he had a badly torn right arm.  One article had a picture of him.

Shelly, I could only view a portion of that article.  (I didn't see the "Jr," part!)

I would think that Delbert Miles would have been too young to be an assistant zookeeper.  Perhaps Delbert Harry's father was also Delbert?

Can the articles be viewed on a non-pay site?

I wonder if Delbert passed away from his injuries.  If so, how is he included on the 1932 voter reg?  Duckcarver stated he passed away in 1926.

Delbert Lantz, born c1909, on board the Mormacswan (image shows "Vessel S.S. American"), arriving New York from Cristobal, Canal Zone, Panama on March 2, 1927.
List of crew includes:
Lantz, Delbert, Wiper, shipped or engaged January 22nd, where: San Francisco, American, 6', 170 pounds
Could this be Delbert Miles?

I wonder why the two Lantz children are not shown on the California birth index?

I am not finding any of the Lantz family members on the 1930 census. 
-------
Dorothy is shown as born in 1916, Alameda County.  She is listed as Lautz.
---------
While searching the 1900 and 1880 census, I've tried variations of Lantz: Santz, Tantz, Lantg, etc.  Maybe we can find Delbert in 1900 with a variation of Lautz?
---------
Found Delbert's CA birth index.  He is also listed as Delbert Lautz, born Los Angeles County.

I cannot find Dorothy in 1930.  If it hasn't already been mentioned, have you tried to find her with any Miles family members?
