SUMMARY:For Every Family\, A Family Doctor Dr Sam Taggart
DESCRIPTION:For Every Family\, A Family Doctor \npresented by Dr Sam Taggart \nFamily Doctors hold a special place in our lives.  The family physician is often the narrator\, father confessor\, the soul who is there for families from birth to death; the person who is called in time of need. One principal trait is trust\, trust to do the right thing\, trust to be there when he is needed. Wisdom is another of those traits that sets them apart. \nFor the first 150 years of Arkansas’s existence\, physician care was provided by family physicians who did most of the surgery\, obstetrics\, pediatrics\, and medical care. In the first half of the 20th century\, medical education shifted its emphasis to training specialists and by the 1940s Arkansas was beginning to experience a dramatic decrease in the numbers of family doctors. In 1947\, the Arkansas Academy of General Practice was created\, and\, in 1970\, it morphed into the Arkansas Academy of Family Physicians.   Slowly\, over the last 75 years\, the Arkansas Academy has worked hard to increase the numbers of family physicians in the state and provide them with the continuing education needed to keep up-to-date.. For Every Family\, A Family Doctor is a narrative history of the Modern Family Medicine Movement in Arkansas. The lion’s share of the book is told through the lives of the men and women who led this movement. \nSam Taggart is a family doctor\, raised in the White River Delta in Augusta\, Arkansas. After medical school at UAMS\, he completed a Family Practice Residency. He retired in 2013 as the senior partner and founder of Family Practice Associates of Benton. In 2012 he wrote The Public’s Health\, describing a narrative history of health and disease in Arkansas over the last 200 years. \n     For Every Family\, A Family Doctor began as a series of interviews\, recorded during 2018-2022\, looking at the lives and practices of the family doctors of Arkansas over the last seventy-five years. This series was produced by the Arkansas Physician’s Oral History Project\, created in 2015. This is the second project for this group.  In June of 2021 he published Country Doctors of Arkansas\, as one of the products of that study. In April 2023\, he published For Every Family\, A Family Doctor a narrative history of the modern family medicine movement in Arkansas since 1947. \nHe and his wife\, Dr. Annette Enderlin are presently working on a book called Against the Odds: Arkansas Women in Medicine before 1972. \nChat 1 – A Family Doctor \nChat 2  – A Family Doctor \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:

SUMMARY:Shakin’ Out the Smiths: Researching a Common Surname
DESCRIPTION:Shakin’ Out the Smiths: Researching a Common Surname \npresented by Nancy Calhoun\, Oklahoma \nMany of our genealogy brick walls come from common surnames on our family trees. The speaker is no exception with a mother named Ann Smith. She will share some tips and tricks for overcoming this obstacle\, using examples from her over 40 years of Smith research across four states. Some include examples of what NOT to do. It ends with a surprise for everyone\, including the speaker. \nNancy Calhoun has been chasing relatives for over 40 years. While in Teacher Corps and graduate school in Kansas\, she enrolled in a semester long genealogy class and has been pursuing family\, both her own and others’ since that time. She found it to be a perfect combination with her bachelor degrees (history\, English\, vocational home economics with a minor in photography) and a masters in curriculum and instruction. With a teaching background and 20 years in newspaper work and publishing\, she often used her research skills in the classroom and in writing. \nNancy was the Department Head of Genealogy and Local History at Muskogee Public Library in Muskogee\, Oklahoma\, for 13 years when she went to work for Oklahoma Historical Society. She then retired due to a stroke. \nShe has attended several NGS and FGS national conferences\, in addition to area educational opportunities. She was the recipient of the librarian scholarship to attend IGHR and the Richard S. Lackey Memorial Scholarship for the 2017 session of Genealogical Institute on Federal Records. Her writings have placed in the annual contests held by the International Association of Family History Writers and Editors. \nMemberships include APG\, NGS\, DAR\, United Daughters of the War of 1812\, United Daughters of the Confederacy\, Oklahoma’s First Families of the Twin Territories\, First Families of Wythe County\, Virginia\, Mayflower Society\, and several county and state genealogical organizations. She is a board member of the Oklahoma Genealogical Society and Gen-Fed Alumni. Speaking opportunities have taken her all over Oklahoma and into Arkansas and Texas. Since the pandemic and a stroke\, she is doing Zoom presentation for Texas\, Oklahoma and California societies. \nHer personal research includes Texas\, Virginia\, Tennessee\, and Kentucky\, as well as Oklahoma. \nShakin Out the Smiths Chat \nRunning Down Grandma: Researching Your Female Ancestors Handout \nShakin’ Out the Smiths handout \n

SUMMARY:The 1950 Census: One Year Later
DESCRIPTION:The 1950 Census: One Year Later \npresented by Steve Morse \nThe 1950 Census was released on April 1\, 2022\, after being sealed for 72 years. Since the release date\, many of us have tried to find records in the census and have run into various quirks. This presentation will discuss the things that we have learned since opening day. \nThe specific topics covered are searching the census by name and what was involved in creating a searchable name index\, searching the census by location and the various websites that have tools to support this\, confusion between census sheets and census pages\, transient handling and the Individual Census Reports\, and the cross-referencing that was done if nobody was home when the census taker came to call. \nStephen Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website for which he has received both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Outstanding Contribution Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies\, Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society\, first-ever Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists\, and two awards that he cannot pronounce from Polish genealogical societies. \nIn his other life Morse is a computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical engineering. He has held various research\, development\, and teaching positions\, authored numerous technical papers\, written four textbooks\, and holds four patents. He is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today’s Pentium processor)\, which sparked the PC revolution more than 40 years ago. \nhandouts_1950 b \n

SUMMARY:How to Find and Plat Your Ancestor’s Land in Arkansas
DESCRIPTION:How to Find and Plat Your Ancestor’s Land in Arkansas \nPresented by Caroline Shultz\, Heritage Seeker member \nResearching land transactions is part of any genealogy research.  As you put together your family’s history\, you may want to include where they lived or where they originally settled.  If you want to add more than the paper trail\, visual interpretations and/or locations are a great way to make that story come alive. \nUsing the BLM records gives you the original transactions and some consequential transactions as well. Adding the Arkansas Surveyor information gets you to the actual piece of land.  Then\, using the maps and coordinates\, you’ll really see where they live. \nCaroline Shultz has been researching her family history since 1998 when a tiny magazine article inspired her to see if she could find any of her Cohoe ancestors.  Within a few months\, she had connected with another researcher who had already taken the Cohoe family back to circa 1720 in Pennsylvania. She has been busy filling in the gaps since then! \nThrough the years\, she has made many research trips to ancestral homes and locations\, discovering the long and rich history of her family.  Through her treks\, she was given the original 1838 marriage certificate of her Quaker ancestors in Canada. Recently adding DNA\, much of that paper trail has been confirmed. \nCaroline has her Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University (2017)\, and has attended SLIG\, RootsTech\, and IGHR multiple times. She has been a member of Association of Professional Genealogists and several other Genealogy Societies. Calling All Cousins Genealogy Research is her business endeavor for the last 7 years.  Caroline is also a long-time member of Heritage Seekers & is responsible for the website & Facebook.. \nCaroline was born in Memphis\, Tennessee\, but only lived there a short while. She has lived all over the US and has visited almost every state except North Dakota. She has also lived in Panama and South Korea and has visited many foreign countries. She moved to Arkansas in 2011 as a birthday present for her sister.  This is the longest time she has ever been in one location in her entire life. \nland platting chat \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:\nMeeting\nPresentation\nQuestions and Answers\nEnd

SUMMARY:Butterfield's Overland Mail Company & Stagecoach Trail Across Arkansas: 1858-1861
DESCRIPTION:Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company & Stagecoach Trail Across Arkansas: 1858-1861 \nPresented by Bob Crossman\, Author \nBob’s topic today is the Butterfield Overland Trail that passed through the Arkansas River Valley almost 350 times between 1858 and 1861. The Overland Mail Company stagecoaches carried passengers and mail west from Memphis and St. Louis to San Francisco through Arkansas. The Overland stagecoaches and stage wagons traveled day and night\, completing the 3\,293-mile journey is less than twenty-five days. \nHis presentation will pay special attention to each of the twenty Overland Mail Company stations spread across Arkansas. The stations were typically located about fifteen miles apart. The stagecoaches or stage wagons would stop for ten minutes at each station for the quick change of horses. Twice a day the stage would stop at a station for about forty minutes\, allowing the passengers to have a moment of rest and purchase a quick meal while the driver obtained a fresh team of horses or mules. \nDr. Bob Crossman graduated from Russellville High School 50 years ago and has lived in Conway the past 35 years. His wife\, Marcia Swain\, is a native of Morrilton. They will celebrate their 50th anniversary this winter. Dr. Crossman received a B.A. from Hendrix College in Conway\, Arkansas\, and received graduate and post-graduate degrees from SMU in Dallas\, Texas. \nBob is the author of three books published in the past three years on Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company. He now has eight books that are now in print and has sold over 35\,000 copies of his books on Amazon and through dozens of other booksellers.
