Benefits of Membership
Membership is open to individuals at all levels of genealogical experience. Meeting with others who share an interest in genealogy is fun as well as informative.
Annual meetings are held in January of each year and a brief business session is part of an all-day speakers' event.
Meetings and events are open to the public.
Our quarterly newsletter, Ceske Stopy, is published in March, June, September and December. It contains articles of interest to researchers on a variety of current topics specific to Texas Czechs, announces future programs, and provides helpful hints on computer research. Beginning with the January 2015 issue, TCGS will be “going green” by emailing our newsletter to our members with email; the Ceske Stopy will also be posted in our "Members Only" section. Members without email will receive a copy via the U.S. Postal service.
The Texas Czech Genealogical Society Website provides members and guests with a variety of information. Much of this information is in the Members Log-In area and will be expanded over time.
Website: Secure Members Only Area
- Members have access by using their personal user name and private password.
