Welcome to the Scranton Family History website!

We are striving to organize the history of the Scrantons of the
United States.  We will attempt to have a clean, easy to use site.

Assistance is welcome.  We will freely share information we have
available, asking that you do the same.  If you are aware of errors
or additional information, please let us know.  Acknowledgement of
those who have contributed information will be made.  We have a
lot of information available, which has not yet been posted.  We will
answer inquiries, usually within two days.
