Filing the Forties
Using a custom method, Edwin Hlavaty of SPJST Lodge 17, New Tabor files the binding off a booklet of 1940s Vestniks to prepare them to be scanned last week at the SPJST Home Office. Members of Texas Czech Genealogical Society (TCGS) have volunteered hundreds of hours over the past three weeks scanning all available Vestniks for digital archiving. Several years of early Vestniks are missing, including all years from 1912 to 1932, July to December 1948, and September to December 1973. See page 2 for more information.
