All in the Family

The Bill Tracy Project will be releasing never-before-seen photos of Bill Tracy, his father Newton, his mother Juanita, and his sister Laurabelle over the next four weeks.

Each week we will focus all of our attention on one of these individuals. We will begin with photos of his father and conclude this exciting journey into Bill Tracy’s personal life with photos of Bill as a boy and as a young man. This breakthrough in The Bill Tracy Project would not have been possible without the very generous contributions of Larry. Larry is the great nephew of Bill Tracy! Larry’s mother is first cousins with Willow, Bill Tracy’s daughter. While Larry was researching his grandmother Laurabelle Tracy, he stumbled across our website. He shortly thereafter contacted us and the rest is history! Besides his photo contributions, he was also generous enough to share with us many personal documents from Laurabelle, who they knew as Lolly. Some of these recollections from her handwritten/typewritten autobiography, which she unfortunately never finished, will be included in our upcoming revision to Bill Tracy’s biography.

A very special thanks again to Larry for sharing these personal photos. Stay tuned!!!
