Genealogical Scavenger Hunts
Join the Hunts for Daily Prizes-Student & Adult Players Welcome
The Clark County Genealogical Society has now conducted two genealogical scavenger hunts. Each consisted of a week of fun exploration focused on expanding and exercising research skills. Participants looked for answers to genealogical questions on the internet while racing the clock to complete the hunt each day before midnight.
