FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2009



The first one is from her high school sweetheart and my grandpa. When questioned he couldn’t remember what “Amote” meant but after some research I found that it was latin and meant a very stong love (like a punch to the chest). Strong feelings grandpa. The next one is from grandma’s cousin Donna, who became my grandma several years after my grandma Jean died. And the last autograph is by my grandma herself. I never realized what a sense of humor my grandma had. She was a popular girl at her very small school and she stayed popular throughout her life. I would contribute that to the fact that she was genuinely interested in people.
4 Generation Pictures
The McConaughy side of my family has a tradition of taking 4 generation pictures. I love these and I am blessed to take part in this tradition.

Rosanna, just love the findings and appreciate your research and sharing. How does one subscribe to your blog? Also, never noticed an obituary for Maria Sophia Rusler Tracy. Do you have a copy of that? That would be your Grandmother Mabel’s mother – wife of John Wesley.
Thank you so much!!! Oh, I was just at the Mormon Genealogical Library with a friend and was told that next January, all their records will be available and free to the public. They are tweaking the sites now.

On my page when I am logged into wordpress there is a button on the top left that says follow. Not sure how it works if you don’t have a wordpress account. I will check though that is kind of important. Thanks. I have Maria
Sophia’s obit but it is just one of those, she died and who her relatives are kind of obits – nothing very personal. I have heard of familysearch.org site being totally revamped and they have always been free. Can’t wait to check out what they have added.
ah, I fixed it. I just had to add a widget for people to subscribe. LOL – thanks I never even noticed – such a novice at this blog thing.
Hi Rosanna,
I am thrilled to find your internet site. I have the same Tracy heritage down to John Edward. I have been having a grand time looking for information about our Tracy’s. You have answered some of my questions. Your work is very impressive. Thank you for sharing what you have learned. My grandfather was Bryce Dilworth Tracy. I have some information, pictures, and my dad’s report cards. Guess who his teacher was? I also have a story about John Wesley’s heart attack. I would love to correspond with you.

Would love to correspond with you! And we have a Tracy family group on fb. Whose daughter are you?
