The ‘Personalia’ chapter brings profiles of prominent personalities from the field of ethnography in Czech lands in connection with their important anniversaries or deaths. The article Congratulations to Alena Plessingerová reminds us of scholar activities of an eminent Czech ethnographer (born in 1928). She obtained her degree in ethnography and Slavic philology at Charles University in Prague at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. From 1952 to 1991 she worked at the ethnographical department of National Museum in Prague. Alena Plessingerová worked here synchronically: field - museum - archive, using a comparative method. She also used an ethnocartographic method in her research. She attempted to show the mutual relationship between man and environment in different aspects of traditional culture and she pointed out regional differentiation in culture and the way of life of people. Apart from extensive field research, she played an indispensable part in enriching the ethnographical department’s collections. As an author, she prepared a number of highly erudite exhibitions. Selective bibliography attached to the profile summarizes publication activities of Phdr. Alena Plessingerová, Csc. The second contribution (Františka Pituchová - Bonnie Lassie) is devoted to the anniversary of Františka Pituchová - Czech Ethnographical Society’s correspondent (born in 1928). She became the society’s correspondent in 1984 and has been regularly taking part in surveys., Her records of customs, perfectly elaborated questionnaires and transcripts of dialectical forms from Staré Hamry and the broader region of Těšín Silesia, can serve as an example of an extremely responsible approach to documented material. The results bear witness to the author’s deep knowledge of her home region, its inhabitants, her relationship to the tradition and culture of mountain villages. She was also successful as a storyteller, popularizing elements of traditional culture by means of her stories. Františka Pituchová’s own poetry and prose writing is significant as well. Some of the texts and poems published so far include Mojim rodnym (To My Natives), Hlupoty (Fiddle-Faddles), Posbirane po našimu (Collected as we Speak). Her profile is supplemented by a bibliography of Františka Pituchová’s published works as well as of works written about herself and her production. The obituary of Jana Scheybalová (1940-2008) commemorates work of an ethnographer from Český ráj and Pojizeří regions. The political conditions of the 1970s and 1980s did not allow her to make practical use of her education. In spite of that, she collaborated with her husband J. V. Scheybal on research and documentation of traditional architecture and folk art which resulted in a number of studies as well as separate publications on traditional architecture of Northern Bohemia. Even after her husband’s death, she carried on with scholarly and publishing activities. Her last book is called Český ráj na starých diapozitivech (Český Ráj on Old Diapositives, 2007). A separate bibliographical list contains publications of Phdr. Jana Scheybalová., and Tento abstrakt je společný pro 6 předchozích článků uvedených v oddílu Personalia
