We invite you to become a member or renew your membership to the Scudder Association Foundation, one of the oldest and most accomplished family charitable organizations in the United States.
The Scudder Connection
Our association includes Scudders who can trace their lineage to the three Scudders (Thomas, John or Elizabeth) who came to Massachusetts from England in the 1630s. We can help you discover your link to these lines through our genealogical records. We have records tracing our roots back to 1500. For more information on family history please visit our Genealogy page.
