Davin and Mike will give a tour of the Athens-Ben Epps Airport (AHN) facilities that will include recently finished and current construction projects to modernize the airport. This tour will also provide opportunities to hear about the airport's plans for the future, including commercial service, and about the history of the airport.

Newspapers are key to understanding the time and place in which an ancestor lived since they provide a contemporaneous record. Every major genealogical database contains newspaper information, and libraries provide access to current and historical newspapers online. Since 1690 (the first record of a newspaper published in the United States), news, human interest stories, obituaries, legal notices, advertisements, society columns, and other content have provided a diary of a community. This three-hour long class consists of one and a half hours of lecture, then a break, then one hour of computer exercises. Before class, please allow at least 12 hours to complete Advance Homework.
