The purpose of this site is two fold:


First, it is intended to provide a connection among the living persons who claim a relationship to the surname - Felch - or any of its spellings. Visitors to this site are encouraged to send a blank email to Cousins@Felch.org or sign-up online to join our growing list of Felches in the information age. Periodic emails will keep you posted on happenings at the Web Site and on significant historical/genealogical events throughout our extended family.


The second element of our purpose is to trace our genealogical roots in a cooperative effort. Most Felches in the United States are descended from Henry Felch, who arrived from Wales before 1641. However, there are other branches. Some North American Felch branches trace their ancestry to Germany, Italy, or Russia. So, although our emphasis is on Henry and our site carries a Welsh-centric design, our connections may lead anywhere. Genealogy research can be an expensive hobby. By sharing information from our individual efforts, we avoid duplicating each others' work and save both time and money. This site has been designed to reward your contributions.

The more you contribute, the more you benefit.
