If by chance you are in the Silver Lake area this weekend for Pola-Czesky Days, on Saturday 6 August 2011, there will be a roundtable history discussion from 1pm-4pm at the American Legion Hall, 241 Main Street W., Silver Lake. Admission is free. This will be a great opportunity to network with other Silver Lake/Glencoe historians and genealogists with Polish or Czech roots...
