Many members often ask how our society began.
Well, the truth is we just all sort of gravitated together from many other genealogy societies. And if membership is any barometer, we're apparently doing a pretty good job of filling that void. A pivotal event for us was our mobilization to co-host the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International's Chicago conference. The letter on the right, from the Governor of Illinois, attests to our hard work and diligence. The remainder of this page depicts photos from the exhibit Joe Novak and Chris Miksanek assembled at the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago to mark the event.
