HI! My name is Jon P Czarowitz and I am the Co-ordinator of this project called TEXAS_Roots.
I was born in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas; moved to location of Stephenville, Texas before starting school in McKinney, Collin County, Texas. I have lived in many parts of the state, but have lived in TEXAS all my life. I have memories that date back before the 50's (1950 to those too young to remember that far back).
To date I am its only member, but welcome all those who are TEXAS born. I see projects of all types of Roots, but TEXAS was at one time an independent Country and some of us were born here. My TEXAS joined the United States of America as an independent country, not as a territory.
My feelings are strong for it just as those from other locations.
I have a heavily mixed background of German, Polish, Scottish, Austrian, some Irish, and some Native American Indian. Not sure if I left any out, but if time permits I may find them too.
Many say the background doesn't matter, it is where you were born so this is a project for those born here. I am a native Texan, just as those of other locations. I don't have a dip stick to tell how much Native American there is in me, but thru intermarriage of old where they did not count mixed marriages, I am sure there is some.
So join me as we find the heritage that once was ours and that seems to have gotten buried. I have family buried in both the northern and southern areas of Texas. I grew up where it was required that we take TEXAS History to pass. I now climb down from my TEXAS soap box and WELCOME any and all native born Texans.
oh yes, A few years back we took a couple steps back and let Alaska have the size title, but we have kept the Friendliest and Welcomed them into these United States of America and our TEXAS.

A story about a ring given by an unknown outlaw still intrigues me, but I never got all the story or the facts. I am still working on some of the facts of the stories that I can prove and those partially proven. More as time allows. Jon P Czarowitz
I could ride my bike there from my Grandparent's home. More later. Jon P Czarowitz
