Dedicated to continuing the vision and work of the Scudder Association of America.
Welcome to the Scudder History Association. We are a social, ancestral organization for Scudder family members and descendants who share an interest in family history.
Building on the legacy of the Scudder Association of America (founded in 1912), we gather, verify, preserve, and publish Scudder genealogy and stories—especially the lines of Thomas Scudder (T), John Scudder (J), and Elizabeth Scudder (E) Lathrop, along with our English roots in Kent, England.
Through collaborative research, educational activities, and shared resources, we help strengthen family connections today and preserve our heritage for future generations.
