Early Czech Schools was selected as the Texas State Genealogical Society’s first place winner at the statewide conference in 2014 from a number of entries in the Category VII Division: Books Published by Partner Society Members. This offering is a two volume, soft bound set containing 597 pages of stories, more than 600 photos, and over 2,900 surnames. The book is indexed for easy navigation. Features include early Czech educators in the Fatherland, early Texas educators in public as well as private schools in Texas, plus photos and articles about Czech Clubs at Texas A&M, The University of Texas, and The University of Houston. Included is a section on more than 100 Czech schools from the 1800s, which were built in numerous small towns and in the countryside where the families lived.

You will enjoy viewing various newspaper articles, documents, awards, and other types of special recognition that the students received. The last chapter contains articles about the individual students. The cost of the two volume set is $55 with free shipping and handling during the month of August, which is a $17 savings.
