SUMMARY:More Than 250: Tories and Patriots
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution was more than a war—it was a transformative moment for the people who lived through it and the generations who came after. More Than 250 is a thought-provoking series of panel discussions that explores the experiences of groups who lived\, fought\, resisted\, and endured in the greater Charlotte region before\, during\, and after the Revolutionary War. \nThis panel will explore the roles of Tories and Patriots in the Carolina Backcountry during the American Revolution. How did divided loyalties affect relationships? How did the conflict define the region’s experience? Join expert historians Hugh Dussek (CPCC)\, Bill Anderson (author)\, and Zach Lemhouse (Southern Revolutionary War Institute) for this thought-provoking discussion.

SUMMARY:August Olde Meck Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our August speaker is Thomas MacEntee\, a professional genealogist specializing in the use of technology and social media to improve genealogical research and as a means of interacting with others in the family history community. While AI (artificial intelligence) might be the current “hot” buzz word\, the fact is that many genealogy vendors and even genealogists have already been using this technology for years. The AI industry is at a crossroads and within the next five years\, it will permeate almost every aspect of business and society. Learn how AI is currently being used to improve the genealogy experience\, and whether or not you should seek out other uses of artificial intelligence for your own genealogy research.
