I would like to take exception to the statement that the closest living relative is The Rev. Jonathan Anthony de Burgh Wilmot son of Anthony Talbot de Burgh Wilmot (OBE) since my family still retains the name 'de tracy' within its surname and my grandfather traced the family line back to William through members who fought in Ireland, acted as mercenaries andheld royal commision for the eradication of wolves. anyone interested?

[edit] Identity

Is this the same as or son of the William de Tracy who was an illegitimate son of Henry I? I suspect he cannot be the same, as Henry's William died about 1140; but he had at least one child (Grace), and could be more. Cheers, Lindsay 13:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Material

User:76.179.31.105 added a large amount of material quoted from an old publication 28 October; i have tried to edit it and make it a little more relevant (it was not very focused on de Tracy). I am not wedded to it, though, and happy to see if anyone else adjusts & improves it.
As a second point, related to my question above, if the new material is correct on de Tracy's ancestry, he was the great grandson of Henry I by his illegitimate son William de Tracy. Cheers, Lindsay 16:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
