In 2018, a remarkable discovery was made in Sugar Land, Texas. Teams from the Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) uncovered a bone that belonged to one of the 95 people found in a prison cemetery without identification. This finding has sparked an interest in understanding how technology has impacted the Jewish community in Fort Bend County. To comprehend the effect of technology on this community, it is essential to look back to the mid-19th century when sugar cane was first planted in Fort Bend County.
At this time, the Jewish community had already been living in the area for many years. However, with the introduction of new technologies, such as DNA research and advances in genomic technology, the Jewish community has been able to gain a better understanding of their own genetic makeup and their ancestry. Reginald Moore, a local historian and genealogist, has been researching this topic for many years. He believes that technology has allowed the Jewish community to gain a better understanding of their past and their identity. He states that “well, that same technology and people's interest in genealogy and in their own genetic makeup, as well as advances in genomic technology, will allow us to identify a certain percentage of the people who are buried there.”The FBISD exists to inspire and equip all students to seek a future beyond what they can imagine.
With advances in technology, the Jewish community in Fort Bend County is now able to gain a better understanding of their past and their identity. This knowledge can help them to create a brighter future for themselves and their families. Technology has had a profound impact on the Jewish community in Fort Bend County.
