NOTE: you are NOT required to purchase admission to the Symposium in order to complete your registration to attend this online webinar. 1A) Gaining Historical Context for your Ancestors By John Sabol Auditorium: 9:00 – 10:00am CDT Genealogy is more than collecting ancestors’ names, documenting records, and organizing them into charts. This talk will show you how to reconstruct the environment in which they lived, the social network through which they moved and even some of the little known events of their lives. 1B) Time Bridge: Rusyns and Slovaks in 20th century By Michal Razus 4th Floor Board Room: 9:00 – 10:00am CDT Culture, lifestyle and work depicted in photography, theater and architecture. This presentation will be given live from Presov, Slovakia; and include many images collected by the speaker. 2A) Guide to Locating and Interpreting Czech Birth, Marriage and Death Records By Al Kranz, Suzette Steppe & Kathy Jorgenson Auditorium: 10:30 – 11:45am CDT Many of the Czech vital records have been digitized and are available on-line. This program will show how to locate the archive for your village or town and access the records. An extensive list of helpful websites will be provided. 2B) The Slovak Struggle for Autonomy; the Century that led to the Cleveland Agreement, 1915 By Fr. Michael Brunovsky, OSB 4th Floor Board Room: 10:30 – 11:45am CDT What were the living conditions for our ancestors during the years leading up to World War I? And how did this pivotal event accelerate their passionate fight for independence? Learn about the role played by Czechs and Slovaks in America paving the way for the eventual establishment of Czechoslovakia. 3A) German-Bohemians, Who are these people? History, Culture and Immigration to the United States By Wade Olsen Auditorium: 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT This presentation will cover German-Bohemian history taking a look at who they were and where they lived in Bohemia. In the mid-nineteenth century there were many reasons to leave their homeland and we will discuss some of the main factors in this momentous decision. We will explore the paths they took and outline the places they settled. As they traveled to a new land they often followed others from their homeland villages and we will take a look at some of the communities they formed in the United States. As we review these settlements, we will see a trend in groups of people starting a new life in the same places. Finding a link to the homeland is a roadblock for many people. We will take a look at Chain migration and identify opportunities to find clues as to where you ancestor originated. 3B) Interpreting Slovak Birth, Marriage, Death and Census Records By John Sabol 4th Floor Board Room: 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT What can you expect to find researching Slovak vital records from the 19th Century and beyond? Be ready to test your language skills, and be ready for some surprises. If you have found your ancestral village, this is the next big step. 4A) A Time of Passage: History of the Czechs and Slovaks, 1781 – 1918 By Steve Potach Auditorium: 2:20 – 3:20 pm CDT This presentation will survey a period of dramatic transformation of the Czech and Slovak homelands, an era that formed the historical backdrop for our ancestors’ emigration to America. It will show how understanding history can enhance our genealogical research, and can “bring our ancestors back to life.” Topics covered include Joseph II’s reforms in the Czech lands, the rise of Czech and Slovak nationalism, economic, social, cultural and political developments in the Czech and Slovak homelands, ethnic conflicts in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and emigration. 4B) How to Overcome Brick Walls in Slovak Research By Lisa Alzo 4th Floor Board Room: 2:20 – 3:20 pm CDT Tracing our Slovak ancestry can be challenging at times. Sorting out surnames, trying to identify ancestral hometowns, and deciphering old country records to connect families are just a few of the obstacles we often encounter along the way. Through sample case studies, this webinar will demonstrate lesser-utilized research tactics, and discuss repositories and key resources used to locate information about Slovak ancestors.

I am looking for anyone who may have information on my family history. I have found that my great-grandfather Jerry Wasicek arrived on a ship in the port of Galveston in 1911 which parted from Bremen. I believe his formal name was Jaroslav Wasicek. They originally settled down in the East Benard, Texas area, and later moved to the Wharton, Tx area. Any help would be greatful. Thank you. Scott Wasicek

I am descended from members of the HUBKA family who immigrated from Ko'c'in, Kralovice, to Baltimore. Some of these moved on to Nebraska and one to Oklahoma. As far as I can tell, all the other HUBKA's in Nebraska were also from Ko'c'in I would like to know if the Texas HUBKA's are also from Ko'c'in, Kralovice, or if not, where are they from?

List: This is my first POST to this list. I AM NOT a "newbie" to Genealogy => I have moderate experience & skill with both the Computer and Researching. I have Paternal Ancestors from a Village in the former Bohemian Nation (the Sudetenland area) ...... I visited the site and area in 1998 accompanied by a skilled genealogist and the Ortsbetreuer for my Paternal Ancestors village. 1) Frank BIERMEIER immigrated from Germany to the U.S. in 1898 with his Mother Catherine. 2) The first Census Frank appears on is the 1900 Census, showing his residence is Gonzales, TX. He & Mother are living with a married daughter of Catherine's. 3) In November, 1900, Frank married Anna ROEMISCH in Lavaca Co., Shiner, TX. Anna's ancestors came from Rosshaupt (Bohemia), known as Rozvadov (Czech) and moved to the San Antonio area of TX. 4) I am seeking information for Anna ROEMISCH who would have been born between ca 1892 and 1921. 5) Anna subsequently died (1904) while giving birth to twins and Frank remarries in 1907 to my widowed paternal Grandmother.

Your information has been added to my database and will appear at my web site at the next update. Sorry for the very!! long delay, but a lot has been going on my life. My computer crashed and although, I didn't lose my database (it was backed up). After purchasing a new computer (with Windows Vista) my software wouldn't run correctly and I was unable to access all of the files for a while. This was finally resolved with software updates and then health issues for my wife precluded me working on this project. My computer has been replaced, my database is all back in working order, & my wife's health is great so it is now back to the genealogy project. There are currently over 1,000 pages of submissions since the project was updated so this will take a while but I will work on it as much as time permits. I hope that you will continue to provide additional information and I will add it to the web site as quickly as possible.

My husband's grandfather came over to America in 1907 at the age of 23/farmer. He came through Galveston, TX. and is also Czech. His name was Vaclav Anton Fikac. He also went by the name James. I always assumed that Vaclav was used for the American name James. Everywhere I see or hear Vaclav they use James. June

Thanks to Josef Simicek and the permanent exhibit "Lichnov - The Hope Has it's Name - Texas," I have been able to add several hundred individuals to my web site. Josef Simicek is the Mayor of Lichnov and director of a permanent exhibit on the emigration to America, mainly to Texas, from the northeast Moravian region during 1856 - 1914. The exhibit is located in Lichnov and is sponsored by the Lichnov Municipal Council. The display gives visitors information on the history of the emigration and the emigrants from this region. It includes information on individuals from Lichnov, Frenstat, Bordovice, Koprivnice, Novy Jicin, Pribor, Verovice, Stramberk and Ticha. The exhibit has a museum as well as lists of emigrants, lists of applications for emigration, & documents concerning their passports & Etc. Josef Simicek provided the information on the emigrants and their ancestors and I have added it to my web site. My web site is dedicated to the Moravian, Bohemian, & German families that settled in Texas and currently lists over 80,000 individuals and includes the immigrants, their ancestors, their descendants. I hope you look at the information available at my web site and I hope you help me improve the site by adding more information on these families.

I have been doing research on my grandfather's given name VACLAV and have found it translated as "James" in American English. Can anyone support this/concur? Many thanks, Anastasia Herold

Michelle, Since you have the SSDI info, it should tell you where Lillian died in 2001. Have you checked the newspapers in that town or city for the obituary. Also there should be a death certificate for her. An obituary or the death certificate may list her maiden name and her parents names. Also, it should tell you the funeral home and you can try contacting them to find out if they have any information. It's not much but it's a start. Did you just get the info off the SSDI or did you send off for the actual application? If you haven't, I would do that too. It's not much but it's a start and I hope this helps. Natalie

Hello, I am fairly new to genealogy yet have had success with many branches of my family; however, I have stumbled across an extremely confusing situation/person: my grandmother. I have struggled with this for over a year but have yet to ask for any help, but I am simply dead-ended. As a result, I thought the next logical step would be to ask for HELP :) Please forgive the cross-posting, but I wasn't completely sure where to send this. I have never had communication with my paternal side whatsoever. When my father, William Michael Whitehead passed away in 2004, I began to seek answers about my lineage on his side. The Whiteheads have proven elusive but probably not unworkable; however, my grandmother seems to be another story. Her name was Lillian Charline "Jones", or so I am told. She passed away in Texas, where she lived all of her life, in 2001. SSDI does produce records of a Lilly Charline Jones as does the Tx birth index (as mother of Wm M Whitehead), but that is it on records for her. She does not appear in one census in Texas. The curiosity rose when I received pictures of her. She was not 'white', but appeared to be Middle-Eastern or Italian, or so was my best guess. Then I learned through records that I now own that her son and husband operated business in Prague. My father lived there off and on for 20 + years and I have legal pads with his writing in Cesky. This led me to believe it was possible that she was Bohemian (I have photos of my father with elderly individuals in Prague - his mother's side of the family? I do not know...still guessing) I had been told by several of her friends that she had been married before marrying my grandfather. I assumed this to be where the name Jones came from. I still cannot locate records of anything pertaining to such however. These same friends tell me that Charline said she was "German". Finally, I stumbled across a record for a Lillian Charline Boluslov, born in Matagorda Tx. The birth date did not match: My grandmother was born in 1915...the Lillian Charline in this record was born in 1931. So I looked to the mother. Her name was Lillian Maroth; husband's name John Boluslov. There isn't anything here that matches up with the exception of the mother's name being "Lillian" as well, and apparently an immigrant possibly from Czech (judging by the name Boleslav - I am unsure of the origins of Maroth). This coupled with my father living both in Texas and Prague seemed very coincidental. My questions (that remain unanswered): Is Lillian Maroth possibly my grandmother, with John Boluslov being the 'other husband' so frequently mentioned by friends? If so, what happened to Lillian Charline Boluslav, b. 1931? She never shows up again - neither do Lillian Maroth or John Boluslov. I am not having much luck finding the name Boleslav/Boluslav/Boluslov either, whether in the US or Czech. I am running out of ways to tie this together because all the info I have is such a loose fit. My true question is; where would I go from here? I am unable to turn to other family members on my paternal side for most have passed on. William Michael Whitehead (my father, son of Charline "Jones") was an only child. In turn, he produced only one offspring, to my knowledge, which was me. I have 2 daughters so it is important to us to solve this - but we are stuck. ANY help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Michelle
