The Newton Genealogy page and directory has been added. The Ransom directory is now better than before. Both have the names of the wives as well as the head of the family. I am not planning to add any more pages at this time. I will be continiously updating the Researcher's surname list. Please send me your surnames that you are looking for in the Ransom and Newton Township, Lackawanna Co., PA area. Before 1842, Newton was a part of Falls Twp., Luzerne County, PA. When Wyoming County was made a county from Luzerne County, it divided Falls Township into two sections. The part that stayed in Wyoming County is called Falls Township and the other part in Lackawanna County is called Newton. I hope you find this page helpful.
