Goal: The ultimate (far-fetched) goal of this site is to find out how all the Scalfs in the world are related to each other.

What This Site Offers:
o Multiple online books with detailed history of the Scalf Family.
o A book of Herbal Remedies by John Silas Doc Scalf, creator of "Scalf's Indian River Tonic."
o An interactive chart listing of as many descendants of Lewis Scalf as I can find.
  This is a good place to search for your ancestors and to find out how you link in with the rest of the Scalfs.
  As you provide your information (see the E-mail link on the left), I will update the database.

Personal Note: Bob Scalf used to maintain the site scalf-family.org. After his passing, his surviving family did not continue maintaining the site and it suddenly disappeared - the valuable information seemingly lost. I had created scalf-family.com years ago to maintain my own genealogy, but had been considering discontinuing it. However, when I learned the main site was gone, I contacted Virgil Scalf, who had been a major contributor to the site. Fortunately, he had copies of most of the information found on the site, and with his help, I was able to convert this site to be the repository for all the information that had been on scalf-family.org. Although I do not claim to be the same level of researcher as Margaret Fleenor, Elmer D. Scalf, Henry P. Scalf (whose books are included on this site), I strive to be. Margaret provided me many important lessons as I began my own research, which I apply as I update her work as new documents and information (such as the 1950 Census) become available.

In October 2025, I discovered the scalf-family.org domain was once again available. My nephew, Kavin Scalf, led me to an online webcrawler archive which allowed me to download most of the original material from that site (without the images). I have done my best to re-create that site, which is now active. When the subscripton on this site expires, I will combine the two sites and only maintain the scalf-family.org site. (I have re-designed the interface, and I like it much better.)
