The Dostal Project
Family history often is overlooked, but it is an important, perishing treasure. Too many good stories go untold; too many people lack a sense of place and purpose. I knew very little about the Dostal family before I began this project. But with each new discovery, I placed my life in a more meaningful context.
Hynek Dostal was my great grandfather, and he is the focus of the story. He was a prominent St. Louisan who helped form the country of Czechoslovakia.
But it was the death of my grandmother and a desire to know more about my roots that compelled me to begin this project in 1996.
