Combining Old and New

NOTE: As of Oct. 27, 2025, I was able to purchase this site back - so scalf-family.org is once again up for your viewing. Although there is an updated appearance, the content is the same.
The links to photos and to the images of census records do not work... I was unable to retrieve those from the archives.
There have been many updates since the last time scalf-family.org was maintained. Virgil Scalf has embedded most of those images into Margaret Fleenor’s book Scalf Family in America, so at this point, I don’t see a need to add those back. Eventually, scalf-family.com and scalf-family.org will be merged together, and I will only maintain one site.

Because the links on the old scalf-family.org refer to older versions of the following books, to avoid confusion by having different versions online, the links below connect to the same files on scalf-family.com:

o Scalf Family in America by Margaret Fleenor

o Scalf Family History by Elmer D. Scalf

This online version is a re-typing of Elmer's original book written and copyrighted in 1982 by the author.

o Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry P. Scalf

This online version is a re-typing of the original book written and copyrighted in 1970 by the author. It was made available here by the generous permission of his son, Albert Scalf, with the knowledge that most of you will not have access to the original book.

o Scarffe Family History by W.W. Gill

This is an excerpt from The Third Manx Scrapbook, Chapter 1 (Section 7). The entire scrapbook can be viewed at the www.isle-of-man.com website. Henry P. Scalf relied heavily on this source for Chapter 2 - Genesis from Chronicles of the Scalf Family, but this source contains additional information not found in that book.

o Doc Scalf's Medicine Books  by John Silas Scalf

John Silas Scalf was a self-taught mountain medicine man. He was always addressed as Doc Scalf. He operated a small laboratory in his home. In this laboratory he produced many different kinds of ointments, salves, and herb tonics for all the aliments that plagued his neighbors. He developed Scalf's Indian River Medicine.
