Members What county is Scranton, PA located in. And was it the same county in 1904? So are there any list members who had family in Scranton, PA. Hopefully there is only one Boyd family there and not he usual dozen or so we normally find in PA towns. Or have any list members come across any Boyd families in Scranton, PA?

Scranton is in Lackawanna County. I would consult the Register of Wills Office in Scranton first.
