Zola Hardy’s Book, Tullis and Allied Families, Online

by Thomas S. Tullis (TomTullis@aol.com)

The book Tullis and Allied Families was compiled by Zola Scott Hardy over many years of research and with input from many other family-tree researchers. She published the book in 1980, followed by several loose-leaf updates over the next few years. It is the most complete book of the descendants of Moses Tullis of New Jersey and Virginia that has been published to date. Many Tullises throughout the United States trace their ancestry to this Moses Tullis.

Zola Scott Hardy (1917-1994)

The book was privately printed and since Zola passed away in 1994 copies are now almost impossible to obtain. However, it may be found in a few genealogical libraries, including the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My late father, Dr. I. Frank Tullis, provided information about our Tullis line to Zola and corresponded with her over the years. He also purchased copies of the book for each of his children, which is how I came to have my copy.

Recently I obtained permission from Zola's children to scan the book and post it on the web so that other Tullis researchers could access this information and benefit from it. I'm grateful to Zola's children for granting this permission, and to Duane Hawe for his assistance (including providing a loose-leaf copy of the book for scanning).

The book is just over 300 pages long. Links to download some or all of the book can be found at http://www.TullisTrees.org/ZolaHardyBook/. It is available as one large PDF file (20 MB) or as separate files for each chapter:
