Texas Military Forces Museum/ Billy’s on Burnet Lunch

The 45,000-square foot Texas Military Forces Museum explores the history 
of the Lone Star State’s militia and volunteer forces from 1823 (date of the 
first militia muster in Stephen F. Austin’s colony) to 1903 when the Congress 
created the National Guard. From 1903 to the present the museum tells the 
story of the Texas Army and Air National Guard, as well as the Texas State 
Guard, in both peacetime and wartime. Afterwards we’ll stop at Billy’s On 
Burnet, a casual, neighborhood-style American restaurant and bar known for 
its burgers and sandwiches. They offer a wide range of menu items, including 
burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, and sides.

Topic: Making the Most of Your DNA Matches
Shared DNA matches are one of the most powerful tools in genetic genealogy. By identifying matches you share with relatives, you can confirm family lines, uncover new branches, and solve long-standing mysteries in your family tree. This program will show you how to use your shared matches to make meaningful discoveries—whether you’re a beginner or an experienced researcher.
