SUMMARY:Bay Area Genealogical Society\, Special Program\, May 31\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Bay Area Genealogical Society in Houston\, Texas announces a special program to be presented on Friday\, May 31\, 2019 at 6:30 pm \nSpeakers: League City Police Department representatives and genealogist Shera Lapoint will discuss the genealogy and DNA research performed to determine the identities of the victims in the Jane Doe and Janet Doe unsolved murder cases. \nMeetings are held at University Baptist Church (UBC)\n16106 Middlebrook Drive\nHouston\, TX 77059 (Clear Lake City) \nMeet in the Chapel on the 1st Floor in UBC\, 6:30 pm for socializing and the meeting begins at 7 pm \nUsing the genetic genealogy of Jane Doe and Janet Doe\, investigators meticulously constructed family trees and DNA profiles and compared them against databases at Gedmatch.com\, Ancestry.com and FamilyTreeDNA.com. With those matches\, they identified and found family members of the two victims that were found on Calder Road in League City. \nDetectives were able to identify and locate living family members from both victims. DNA samples were collected from the son and sister of Janet Doe\, and Agents from the FBI coordinated the collection from the family members of Jane Doe who were out of state. \nIn a video about the case\, League City Police urged people whose loved ones are missing to submit DNA to databases. The LCPD officials said using DNA to locate people is an “emerging tool” for law enforcement. \nFor more information about the cases including the video visit the League City websites as follows: \nhttps://www.leaguecity.com/civicalerts.aspx?aid=2266 \nhttps://www.leaguecity.com/3279/Audrey-Cook—Cold-Case-86-216 \nhttps://www.leaguecity.com/3280/Donna-Prudhomme—Cold-Case-91-2200 \nFor more information about the Bay Area Genealogical Society:  https://www.txbayareagen.org

SUMMARY:Texas Czech Genealogical Society presents ...
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Centennial of the Founding of Czechoslovakia and the U.S. Czech Partnership\nThe September 29\, 2018 program will honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia\, the forging of the U.S. and Czech partnership and focus on the Texas Czechs who worked together during the “Great War” (WWI) years to help form a sovereign Czech country. \n\nCarolyn Loykasek Holub will speak about how the Czechs of Texas worked together during the World War I years in support of a sovereign Czech country; how they banded together under the Czech National Alliance to raise funds\, hold lectures by influential speakers and to publicize the plight of the Czech people living under the Austrian oppression. The TCGS publication\, 1618-1918 Pamatnik Cechoslovaku\, is a history of the Czech National Alliance Branches throughout Texas; originally published in 1920 as a tribute to the Czech and Moravian Texan who contributed to the liberation of the Czech lands during WWI. It includes 59 Czech National Alliance branches in Texas group photos with names (some birthplaces\, assigned divisions\, and battles fought) and by county of residence the names of Czech military men and women from Texas who served during WWI. \nLila Rakoczy Program Coordinator for the Texas Historical Commission Military sites and Oral History Program will speak on WWI and the impact on immigrants and immigrant communities. The Great War brought profound change to the Lone Star State. Dr. Rakoczy will highlight the impact the war had on its residents\, including thousands of Texans of central and eastern European descent. \nDotty Davis will discuss and present a video of Sergeant Stubby\, the official mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment during World War I. He served for 18 months and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks\, found and comforted the wounded\, and once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants\, holding him there until American soldiers found him. (Wikipedia) \nCarroll Brincefield currently involved in documenting the military history of Texas veterans\, directing an oral history program in Lavaca County\, and developing oral histories for the Texas State Historical Association will talk about the World War I Memorial Wall and Display Project at the Czech Heritage Museum and Genealogical Center in Temple. \nA Silent Auction will be held and the TCGS Sales Table will be laden with authentic Czech items. For your listening pleasure live music will be provided. \nRegister by credit card at https://squareup.com/store/TXCZGS/item/registration or mail registration form (see www.txczgs.org) and check made out to TCGS to Carolyn Holub\, 2741 Falcon Way\, Midlothian\, TX 76065; phone 214-577-0029 cholub1088@gmail.com.
