A couple of years ago I came in contact with Don Moran and received his permission to publish these newsletters to the Web so that more researchers could benefit from their contents. I'm very grateful to Don for all of the work that originally went in to these newsletters and for agreeing to let us share it in this way. If you have questions or comments about the newsletter, you can reach Don at [email protected].

I'm also grateful to my late father, Dr. I. Frank Tullis, who was a subscriber to The Tullis Tracer and let me have his collection for scanning.

I have recently started a new newsletter devoted to Tullis family history called Tullis Trees. You can follow that link for more information.
