SUMMARY:Zoom Meeting - "Fertile Valleys and Mountain Views": The Butterfield Overland Mail Route in Northwest Arkansas.
DESCRIPTION:“Fertile Valleys and Mountain Views”: The Butterfield Overland Mail Route in Northwest Arkansas.\nPresented by Susan Young\, Outreach Coordinator Shiloh Museum of Ozark History\nFrom 1858 to 1861\, John Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company carried the first successful overland transcontinental mail by stagecoach through Arkansas as it went from the Mississippi River to California. Though only running from 1858 through part of 1861\, it was the longest stagecoach line in world history at approximately 2\,812 miles and was a major factor in the\nsettlement and development of Arkansas and the American West before the Civil War. Its two main routes ran through Arkansas\, westward from Memphis and south from Missouri\, connecting in Fort Smith.\nMy talk will focus on the route as it passed through Northwest Arkansas\, where much of it followed the Telegraph Road\, built in 1828. I’ll also touch briefly on other history that took place on Telegraph Road in Northwest Arkansas: the forced removal of Cherokees on the Trail of Tears and Civil War activities of soldiers and civilians.\nSusan Young is the outreach coordinator at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale\, a position she has held since 1994. Susan is a lifelong resident of Fayetteville and a fifth-generation Ozarker. Her Ozark history interests include traditional folkways\, religion\, and cemeteries. Susan serves on the boards of Historic Cane Hill\, Heritage Trail Partners and the Arkansas Chapter Trail of Tears Association. In her spare time\, Susan enjoys reading\, traveling\, gardening\, genealogy\, and birdwatching. Susan has presented for Heritage Seekers previously. Her presentation on “Chicken Bristle Mountain” is an old favorite. \nMeeting Files:\nZoom meeting chat text \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:\n0:12:50 Meeting Starts\n0:15:25 Presentation\n1:03:40 Questions and Answers\n1:23:00 Post-Meeting\n1:41:51 End

SUMMARY:Zoom Meeting - Artificial Intelligence And Genealogy
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence And Genealogy\nby Scott Lee \nThis presentation will review how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in genealogy today and how it will likely affect it in the future. A high-level\, down to Earth\, explanation of some of the many buzzwords will be included. The rise of home computers followed by the Internet has greatly affected how we research our family trees. AI will have a much bigger impact. \nScott Lee is a retired software engineer that has been researching his family history since 1979. He has served as an officer in several genealogical societies and lectures on genealogical topics. Currently\, he is a board member of the Arkansas Genealogical Society and First Vice President of Heritage Seekers. In 1995\, he helped design the GEDCOM 5.5 standard for transporting genealogical data\, improving its syntax to be more easily read by software and fixing several issues in date specifications. Scott grew up in Little Rock\, Arkansas\, but his work took him to Indiana\, Oregon\, North Carolina\, and New York City. In retirement\, he\, and his wife\, Deirdre\, have returned to their families in Arkansas. His career included the medical field\, engineering computer graphics\, and consulting in the process of building reliable software. In retirement\, he is working in the design of deep learning neural networks and software for genealogy. In his spare time\, he enjoys writing science fiction\, studying ancient calendars\, writing open source software\, keeping up with the latest advances in physics and astronomy\, and of course researching his family history. \nMeeting Files:\nSlides in PDF format\nZoom meeting chat text \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:\n0:00:00 Meeting (first few minuted not recorded)\n0:02:10 Presentation\n0:59:00 Questions and Answers\n1:09:00 Post-Meeting\n1:27:51 End

Vernon is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Civil War Roundtable. \nJohn Rains\, Sexton of Oakland Cemetery \nJohn Rains was born in Greenville\, Mississippi. John had the choice to join the Navy in 1982 but chose to join his father in his optical business instead. They moved (as a family) to Little Rock in 1990 where John continued pursuing his other interest in jewelry repair. His father always instilled in him to diversify\, no matter what job he had. This worked well for him through several\, very different “careers” over the years. One of the most enjoyable was being an explosive technician for Arkansas and Southern Missouri\, then as an interior installer working with the avionics department for Dassault Falcon Jet. After a couple of other inconsequential jobs\, he landed right where he thinks he was meant to be\, as the sexton for Oakland & Fraternal Historic Cemetery Park. He has been sexton for over 10 years and has found it most rewarding in many ways. \nDid you know? While Little Rock was under Union occupation\, there was a Union hospital for smallpox on the site of Oakland Cemetery? There are union soldiers buried at National Cemetery? There is a Confederate mass grave at Oakland containing 900 burials? There is a Confederate mass grave at adjoining National Cemetery containing 640 more disinterred from Mount Holly? A lot of war dead associated with the site? \nMary Evans & Randall Freeman\, Confederate Mass Graves \nMary will give a brief discussion of Confederate mass graves that are located all over the south; known or unknown\, on or off battlefields. Confederate casualties were never given the same burial rites as the Union boys. Some still lie in ditches or cornfields across the south. Many families never learned the location of their loved ones. The impact of MIAs & the losses felt by the families is relevant then & now. What about the possibilities of 900 genealogical brick walls? \nRandall will talk about the mass grave here in Oakland. He knows who the 900 are\, where they came from\, the history of the obelisk & much more. \nRandall Freeman was born in Harrison\, Arkansas\, raised in the rugged Searcy County Ozarks. His mother was an avid genealogist long before the internet and spent hours in courthouses\, libraries\, and sending correspondence in search of information. She dragged Randall in and out of cemeteries his entire young life. One time in particular\, at the grave of his great-great-grandfather\, John Caldwell Calhoun Freeman\, Randall learned he was a Confederate soldier. \nAs life went on\, time went by and as both parents passed\, Randall developed an interest in the Civil War. He discovered 33 Confederate Freemans just on his paternal side. He got involved in local Southern heritage events and joined the local Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He has now been Commander of the oldest Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp West of the Mississippi River for the last 5 years (Newton Camp.) \nEventually\, (fate) Randall turned up in the Confederate section of Oakland. He began doing research on the cemetery and made a discovery that his mother never could. She and others worked tirelessly to find the place of burial of a young man who would be my great-great-uncle on her side of the family. Through research\, I found him resting at Oakland Confederate Cemetery. He is one of the 900. “Sometimes when I am there\, I speak his name aloud\, as I wish I could for all these young heroes. Reece Jefferson Kimbrell.”

They will discuss basic DNA platforms\, resources and their process from beginning to end of select cases. They will share stories of reunification. Sharing the ups and downs of finding a long-lost family member. Then they will discuss resources and platforms used for searching for someone. Finally\, they will demonstrate\, using DNA\, how to start a search from the beginning. They provide ongoing resources to help with searches and take questions \nAngela Bernard and Tammy White are sisters who began researching family ancestry in the late 90’s. Family members passed along a large paper\, photo and family bible trail that originated long before DNA testing for ancestry gained it’s popularity. Inheriting this treasure trove of information\, fueled our desire to dive further. As technology advanced\, it led to DNA testing on all platforms. Through this process\, we have found many mistakes along the paper trail but must give credit where credit is due to our family members who tromped around in overgrown cemeteries and dug out historical records in courthouses etc. Due to a major unexpected line appearing in our own DNA matches\, we developed a passion for problem solving and triangulating DNA matches in order to determine relationships.

SUMMARY:The 1849 Cholera Outbreak in Jefferson City
DESCRIPTION:FRIENDS OF THE MISSOURI STATE ARCHIVES present virtually on Facebook Live! \nIn 1849\, a steamship named after President James Monroe left St. Louis for Council Bluffs\, Iowa. On board along with 50-plus crewmembers and miscellaneous passengers were 135 Latter-day Saints from Philadelphia\, joined in St. Louis by a group of 35 California-bound prospectors from Jeffersonville\, Indiana. Shortly after departure\, on what was supposed to be a routine trip\, cholera broke out among the travelers. Days later\, 14-year-old James McHenry discovered the steamship after a skeleton crew landed it at Jefferson City. Observing the dead and dying victims along the riverbank\, several local churches opened their doors to serve as hospitals for the afflicted. Though the exact number of deaths resulting from the outbreak is unknown\, with different sources recording quite different figures\, it had far-reaching effects. Join us for a presentation on Facebook Live from Gary Elliott\, author of The 1849 Cholera Outbreak in Jefferson City\, as he details this tragic\, yet historic event.
