Great way to enhance research skills!
Even with more than 40 years of researching under my belt, I’m always learning. The scavenger hunt is a fun way to learn about free resources and is super helpful in enhancing my research skills. Julie is always responsive, so I know she’s always there if I get stuck or need a push in the right direction. Overall, I’m loving the hunt!

Highly recommended!
I’m always looking to learn different methods and places to search, even after 45 years. The scavenger hunt is a straight-forward learning experience, and I absolutely love hunting for the records each month and digging through the information. It’s a great value and I’ve recommended it to several friends.

The challenges test my skills!
I’ve been researching for 20 years and joined the scavenger hunt to test my skills. It’s helped me slow down and carefully evaluate the information I find in the records. I love the monthly challenges and the educational format, and it’s even helped me re-energize my own research!

A fun way to learn new things!
I’ve been researching on and off for 40 years, but I joined the scavenger hunt to continue learning. No disappointment here; I’ve learned lots, plus it’s interesting and fun! One of my biggest take-aways was learning to slow down and pay closer attention to what the records are telling me. Julie explains things well and doesn’t talk over our heads, which I appreciate. The scavenger hunt is a great way to learn new things and have fun!

Doable. Enjoyable. Thoughtful. All within an itty-bitty package!
I love that the scavenger hunt is a great way to learn new techniques or refresh old ways of thinking without a major financial or time commitment. The hunt is focused on one topic, directed, and reaches a conclusion; but the learning and usefulness don't stop there, since Julie encourages us to use what we've learned and apply it to our own research. The bite-sized challenges are manageable, the techniques are universal, and the resources are applicable. I think of the hunt more like a genealogy happy hour where I can learn and add to my research toolbox!

A fun, hands-on way to learn!
I joined the scavenger hunt to learn about records I’m not familiar with and am loving what I’m learning! What I appreciate the most is that it’s not passive learning or simply a webinar. I have to take an active role or I won’t learn, and that’s what I get with the scavenger hunt. Overall, the hunt is super helpful and it’s great that I can work on it at my own pace!

Doing the scavenger hunt has taught me new ways to learn about my ancestors; I even discovered more details about censuses that I hadn't really paid attention to before. I love that the scavenger hunt is so much fun and very informative! For anyone considering joining, it’s a no-brainer!
