SCHWARZWALD
ROOTS
(10/30/99)Fallengrund
The Fallengrund and its Oberfallengrundhof in Neukirch were home to a large Faller family branch. The family later spread to neighboring farms through marriage. This account is one chapter of the book "Aus der Geschichte von Neukirch; Höfechronik einer Schwartzwaldgemeinde" by Klaus Weber. When I first encountered this book, I was amazed at all these Fallers from long ago, whose lives had been documented through recording of important events... in church and civil records. I had an English translation (origin unknown) and decided to type it all on the web to help other researchers. Only later did I realize that this account is but a small part of the Faller story, but I have decided to leave it online since it provides an interesting sketch of farm life for three centuries. After finding the German original in the LDS microfilm archives, I checked the names and dates (of the translation, and also of my error-prone keyboarding) but my German is not good enough to allow me to conveniently check the wording of all the text. I have added some of my own notes in square brackets. Where I was unable to get a good translation, I left the original German in quotes. I converted all dates to month/day/year format.
(7/4/99)Another book, "Die Bauern von Gütenbach und ihre Hofguter von 1504 bis Heute," by Klara Werber has some introductory notes about the Fallers. My translation of two paragraphs follows:
"The Fallers came relatively late and were from Oberfallengrundhof in Neukirch near Gütenbach. They became owners of Kilpenhof (Hof 4), where they remained until 1772, through marriage of the heiress. The son of the last farmer took over the Unterlehmannsgrundhof (Hof 9), likewise through marriage, around 1792, but already his grandson sold the property and grounds in 1885.
"Also the Fallers of Oberlehmannsgrundhof (Hof 8) originated from Kilpenhof, first through marriage, they remained one hundred years until 1857 when the family died out through loss of children. But since the last person to carry the name of the farm left it to his sister, the present farmers still are descendants of the Fallers of Kilpenhof and, therewith, of the Fallers of Oberfallengrundhof in Neukirch."
See Maps for a photo of Gütenbach.
The number after "Gut." in the Descendants file corresponds to the farm from
which the person came. Each farm corresponds to one numbered chapter in the
book. These farms and the surnames of the owners/farmers (for the chapters
I have a copy of) are:
1. Obereckhof, Fehrenbach
2. Untereckhof, Beha, Duffner, Dorer

(8/8/01)Thanks to Robert de Falleur for sending in an extract from another book by Klara Werber. This is in German, so unfortunately I cannot include it in this site. Robert reports that it was bound in an archive of the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe. The title and foreword in rough English: History of a Black Forest Land-holding Peasant Clan: The offspring of Theis Faller and Veronika Märckhin from Oberfallengrundhof in Neukirch in Kreis Donaueschingen. I will be perusing this extract soon to determine if there are any further additions to my Descendants file.

Lenzkirch LETTERS of INTEREST
Richard Faller of Toronto wrote to my father (EAF Jr.) in 1954: "For the past
two years, I have had a trained genealogist working part time for me in
Switzerland and the South of Germany on our family records with a fair amount of
success. ... I had mentioned to him that your father had done a considerable
amount of research and had our lineage traced back to the year 967 A.D." After
my grandfather died in 1948, my father also corresponded with various Fallers on
the family tree.
Letter from my grandfather (EAF Sr.) to Richard Faller, March 13,
1943: "Of more interest is the story of a Mathias Faller from the Upper Falligrund,
born 1707, died 1781. His father was George Faller, whose wife Barbara, born
Furtwängler. Both Fallengrund farms were pastorates in Neukirch at that time.
Pastor Jäck, from whom I learned much, was pastor of Gütenbach from 1804 until
1808. This Mathias Faller is ofttimes mixed up/taken to be another Mathias, who
stemmed from Gütenbach and moved to Furtwangen. He was an important painter and
invented the "gold stripes" and much else. The Falligrinder Mathias, son of
George Faller, was a famous wood carver; the two holy figures (statues) at the
Schwibbogen [light arch] in the Gütenbacher church are his work. Also the Holy
Antonius and the Holy Francis at the altars at the sides are his works. His
daughter Maria, invented the "hand painting" for clock/watch shields/signs."
Letter from EAF Sr. to Richard Faller, April 13, 1943: "As soon as I have ascertained once and for all the relationship of the
"Fallers" of the Upper and Lower "Falligrund" (without contradictions) further
study of the Faller ancestry will be an easy assignment. I have the "Ahnenliste"
(descendants) of the other Falligrinder of the Schüssle. That there exists a
relationship leaves no doubt; it is only a matter of tracing it and establishing
the fact without any contradictions or objections. ... Note 1: Thaddeus was
perhaps not the first name of "Stoffel"; it could also have been Mathaeus
(Deiwis). The dictionary of the Badish dialects of Ochs will confirm this. Note
2: The dialectical short form of Matthias was Matthis."
"Witches". Letter from EAF Sr. to Richard Faller April 25, 1943:
"The farmer on the Falligrund (on the upper Fallengrund) was also accused of
performing witchcraft. Under torture he did not prove himself as obstinate as
Ketterer, but was beheaded. As this farmer was supposedly on the way to the
scaffold, he supposedly said to his friends: "If I go where God is, I will ask
of him that I am allowed to bring my child with me to him." The five-year-old
little boy became ill really immediately and after five weeks was dead."
(6/21/05)FURTHER BACKGROUND from Paul Faller
Professor Hans Joachim Faller of Karlsruhe (b Staufen im Breisgau, 17th May
1915) has supplied me [Paul]with a document listing the owners of the
Oberfallengrund in Furtwangen-Neukirch near Gütenbach, about 30km north of Saig.
Many Faller families, including his, trace their origins to this farm. It is
doubtful, in his opinion, whether there is a connection between his family and
ours. A closer scrutiny of the work of Albert Faller, a specialist in family
research, might reveal otherwise. His work is lodged with an association in
Gütebach. ...Hans Faller, a constitutional judge, is featured in the European
Biographical Directory, 8th edition, 1989-1990. Since 1976, he has been an
honorary professor at the University of Mannheim and has written many articles
about civil rights questions. He is also the author of a lengthy article which
appeared in the Gütenbach Local History Society's publication, "Heimatblättle",
which a colleague of mine, Schoenstatt sister Florence Henkel, kindly
translated. This 12-page article is available, should anyone wish to read it. it
is, however worth quoting the few paragraphs that deal with the origin of the
name "Faller."
THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME "FALLER" by Hans Joachim Faller As a rule, the large farms were not the property of the farmers who
cultivated them. Rather, the land was owned by worldly or spiritual "Lords." So,
for example, from the twelfth century onwards, the Monastery of St. Peter was
the landlord of Neukirch, and the Margarethenkloster (the Monastery or Convent
of St. Margaret) at Waldkirch was the landlord of Gütenbach. The farmers
received their farms from the landowners as a fief for lifetime. This meant that
they owned their farms in a type of sub-ownership which entitled them to own and
cultivate the land, but obliged them also to pay rent. In addition to the annual
rent the landlord demanded the so-called "case-duty" (Fall-Abgabe or
Fahl-Abgabe) which was due in the case of a change in the ownership of the farm
(through death, inheritance or sale). According to this case-duty (Fall-Abgabe)
the new owner of the farm had to give to his landlord the so-called "best-head"
of cattle in the stable. Depending on the size and productivity of the farm, up
to three case-duties (Fähle) could be owed to the landlord, and this was
experienced as a heavy burden by the family of the farmer. In order to have a
change in ownership occur as rarely as possible, the customary law developed
very early of making the youngest son the heir of the farm.
The Fallengrund (Fahlgrund) was such an ancient fief, and, from time
immemorial, burdened with two case-duties ("Hauptfähle"). This fact is probably
the reason for its name. According to this interpretation the "Faller" would
have been the owner of the farm who found himself bound to his landlord in such
a legal relationship.
This interpretation is in agreement with Alfred Götze's view. In his essay on
"Family Names in the Badensian Upperland" he writes: "In the case of the family
name Faller, which, in this version occurs ten times in the old town of Freiburg
during the period 1537 to 1796, one thinks of a rent-paying farmer from whom a
case duty ("Gefälle") is procured..."
Another interpretation seems to be possible. The landlords would often
entrust one of their subjects with the task of collecting the rents. "Faller"
could also be the one who had to collect case-duties (Fall-Abgaben). This was
later the task of the "Lehensvogt." However, evidence is lacking that a farmer
from the Oberfallengrund was ever entrusted with this "office." Alfred Götze is
of the opinion that one could also think of a farm worker who has to loosen the
ground; or this name could be connected with place names like Oberfall and
Unterfall near Triburg. However, this seems as improbable as the supposition
that Faller was the name of a man who lived at a waterfall or who had been a
feller of trees. Such more outward interpretations based on orthography can with
some certainty be excluded.
top of page (2/28/14) This section is out of date (not loading properly) but with everyone using Google Earth and Google Maps nowadays I won't bother fixing it anytime soon.
(10/30/04) On a separate page, which may take a few seconds to load, are
several MAPS, photographs, and descriptions
of locations of interest:
Part of Switzerland with Faller area, in the canton of
Graubünden/Grischun/Grisons (German/Romansch/French). Romansch or Rumantsch is
the language used only in the easternmost canton of Switzerland, Grischun.
The Septimer Pass.
Robert de Falleur's snapshots of the area from his travels.
Part of Schwartzwald from Simonswald to Eisenbach.
Farms around Gütenbach and Neukirch.

(10/30/04)Southwest of the town of Mulegns is the Ava da Faller and the
Faller area in Graubünden, Switzerland. There are many mountain hikes in the
area, and one of the hiking outfitters, Toenihuus has
a web site with maps and hikes. Thanks to Xaver Hutter who provided the
following explanation:
Faller is not a village - it is a small region on the end of the Vallee
Faller [Val da Faller, or Faller Valley in English]. In German, "Alp" is a place
in the mountains where farmers put their cattle during summertime (6 to 10
weeks). In the local language [what I'm calling Romansch] Alp is alpe or
alpa. On maps the word Alp is almost always left out. Therefore, Alp Faller
is the same as Faller. Furka stands usually for a mountain pass - highest point
of a track over the montains from valley to valley. [Fallerfurka is mentioned in
the hike description.]
Xaver sent along a couple of very detailed maps. Also, a reference to
historical information on the area, which is included in German on the Maps
page.
(11/2/01) A map (not included on the Maps page) from Der Herzog von
Schwaben by Helmut Maurek shows the locations of church properties in the
duchy of Alemania. St. Blasien (near Neukirch) dates from the 11th-12th
centuries. It is a spin-off of the Swiss monasteries.
top of page (6/21/05) 6. Baedeker 1910 (North Germany) says that the Faller ancestors
lived in the Brandenburg area before 979, and moved from there to Switzerland.
(from Paul Faller)
(3/28/03) 5. Hilda sent me some new news about the Faller origins. She had
received a copy of the "Compromise & Order of the Todtnauer Froner von
1438." This is the document which seemed to reference the Faller name in the
15th century. However, on closer inspection the reference does not seem to be to
the Faller family. Hilda also was in contact with the town of St. Blasien
regarding the Klaus Faller family which has lived there for centuries. They say
that the name Faller stems from the middle ages from northern Italy and South
Tyrol. Furthermore, they say that the name derives from the occupation of
"Vahl." Vahlers collected the tithes--as they went from house to house you would
hear "The Vahler comes."
(10/27/01) 4. Robert sent in a map labelled Mappa Atlantica della strada
da Venezia a Zurigo per il Lago d'Iseo Edolo & .... This map shows a
route from Venice thru Vicenza, Verona, up Lake Iseo toward Edolo, passing Bivio
and Chur, then north-west to Zurich. A close inspection of today's maps shows
that this route would pass through Mulegns which is close by the village of
Faller. The map was published in a book by Martin Bundi titled Frühe
beziehungen swischen Graubünden und Venedig.
(10/27)01) On my National Geographic traveler's map of the Alps, an ancient
route through the Rhaetian Alps (passing Tiefencastel, Savognin ... Tirano) is
labelled the Schwarzwald Veltlin Route. Veltlin is a valley in the
Lombardy region of northern Italy, bordering Switzerland.
In past centuries it was a key alpine pass between northern
Italy and Germany and control of the "Valtellina" was much sought
after, particularly during the Thirty Years' War.
(8/16/01) 3. I've received an excerpt from Landnahmetätigkeit am Alpenkamm
im Hoch- und Spätmittelalter from Robert de Falleur that has several pages
(in German) on Val da Faller. Stay tuned for a translation sometime.

The postings [above] shows the following three dominant modes. a) de Falaria, de
Faleira (15th century Surselva), b) Valler, Faller, c) Valar. The Falar and
Falaria names of Surselva may be placed without harm with the name of Falera.
Now, however, in Grüsch about 1375 there is an Ulricus de Falaira. That posting
does not fit today's “Flurnamen” Vallar already in Grüsch. So two possibilities
result: either the “Praettiauer” Valär immigrated in the Middle Ages from the
Surselva, or there arose in Grüsch a second Falaria, which then was
reinterpreted into the much more frequent Vallar. The name is also written
Faller or Valler. Two possibilities result here also: a) immigrants from valleys
(the residents of valleys are called Valler); or b) original people from the Val
da Faller. We will accept the assertion of “Schorta 1”: The inhabitants of the
Val da Faller have moved from valleys. For this peoples-names-book, we will
separate the names in such a way: --Falera and Valer from Surselva: Falera.
Faller, and Valer from the central federations (Surmeir, Bravuogn, Heinzenberg)
to Val da Faller (Mulegns)-- Valär in German districts to “Flurnamen” [common
name?] Vallar. An absolutely safe separation is not given thereby."

(6/6/01) 1. Ancient Origins A. Etruria. This paragraph quotes another reference. "Roman policy with regard to
conquered cities and tribes during the early years of its expansion is
strikingly illustrated by the fate of Falerii, the capital of the Falisci, and
one of the twelve cities of Etruria, destroyed in 241 B.C. The inhabitants were
compelled to abandon the strategic position of their city, built upon a height
between the Monti Cimini and the river Tiber, and to construct at a short
distance away on the plain a new dewlling-place, Falerii Novi, which was no
danger to the Romans. ... The modern town of Civita Castellana, on an eminence
formed between steep river valleys...stands on the site of the original Falerii.
A few miles away in the plain is Falerii Novi, also called Aequum Faliscum. Many
remains survive, but the city was again abandoned in the Middle Ages in favour
of the original site. Outside the city wall a cemetery with long corridors was
hewn out of the rocks."
More on the Falisci from the Encyclopedia Britannica: "Faliscan
language, an Italiic language closely related to Latin and more distantly
related to Oscan and Umbrian languages, Faliscan was spoken by the Falisci in
central Italy in a small region northwest of the Tiber River. Falerii, the
Faliscan capital, was destroyed by the Romans in 241 BC and it is likely that
the Faliscan language was completely displaced by Latin in the following
century. Modern knowledge of Faliscan comes from a small number of inscriptions
writtin in a native Faliscan alphabet derived from Etruscan.
Falisci, ancient people of southern Etruria in Italy who, though Latin
in nationality and speech, were culturally closer to the Etruscans. They
occupied the region between the Tiber River and Mt. Ciminus, with Falerii
(modern Civita Castellana) as their capital. Resistance of the Falisci to Rome
began in 437 BC, when they joined with Veii in the Etruscan alliance against the
common enemy and ended with the razing of Falerii by the Romans in 241 BC.
Object in early Faliscan graves are indistinguishable from early Etruscan
objects."
B. Falerone C. Venice More on Marin Falier from the Encyclopedia Britannica: "Italian Marino
Faliero (b.1274 - d. April 17, 1355, Venice), leading official in Venice and
doge from 1354 to 1355, who was executed for having led a plot against the
ruling patricians. His tragic story has inspired several important literary
works, including the tragedy Marino Faliero: Doge of Venice (1821) by the
English Romantic poet Lord Byron.
"Of patrician family, Falier spent many years in high positions in the
Venetian government. During Venice's struggle with Genoa and Hungary for naval
predominance in the Adriatic, he commanded in the Venetian victory over the
Hungarians at Zara (1348). He continued to defend Venetian interests against
these two powerful foes, leading a naval squadron against Genoa (1352) and
playing a major role in peace negotiations.
"As ambassador at Avingnon, Falier was negotiating with Pope Innocent VI
(reigned 1352-62) to resolve the dispute with Genoa when he was elected doge in
September 1354. The rout of the Venetian fleet by the Genoans at Porto Longe
(Novermber 1354) obliged Falier to negotiate a four-month truce. The humiliating
defeat and the subsequent truce aroused the hostility of the patricians, engaged
in a struggle for power with the doge.
"Either personally provoked by a patrician or impelled by purely political
reasons, Falier led a plebian plot to kill all the nobles, whose power would
revert to the people and to the doge in particular. The plot was discovered,
however, and Falier, along with his accomplices, was tried and executed." He was
beheaded.
D. Italian Cardinals
Cardinal Pietro Valier, b Venice in 1574, d Padua in 1629, was a nephew of
Cardinal Agostino Valier. Pietro was also governor of Orvieto. Thanks,

E. Greece F. Switzerland top of page (7/4/99) Sculptor Mathias Faller, (6/15/94) Architect Johann Faller top of page (2/10/05) I estimate that I have names of about 2000 descendants. If you are
descended from anyone in this file, you are invited to send me your family
particulars if you wish to be included in the next update. Time permitting, I
want to add more names to this file from the Neukirch and Gütenbach histories.
If you have specific questions concerning ancestors from around Neukirch or
Gütenbach, you're invited to contact David Dale who has access to several local
history sources. A few step-families in the "Descendants" file include children
not necessarily descended from Thomann and Gertraud Faller. The Faller branch
from Alsace includes about one quarter of the 2000 descendants in my file.
(2/10/05)There is an interesting (I think) reason why I choose not to use a
genealogical software program for this data. Every time I try to get a handle on
the structure of the family--13 generations, many intermarriages (some
between different generations), some conflicting sources, duplicate
name/birth-year pairs, large numbers of children, etc.--I get a mind-boggling
mess. The result thwarts the very purpose of applying structure--to see at a
glance the various relationships. Therefore, it suits me better to just use a
flat file with no inherent structure (other than individual identifiers for each
of the 2000-odd persons). Of course, I had to use systematic rules to create the
file, but the system seems to cover all the relationships I have so far come
across.
(2/10/05)For smaller files, such as my immediate family tree, I use Family
Tree Maker. But it is unwieldy for more than a few generations. For example,
there are at least seven paths by which I can trace my ancestry back 11
generations to Thomann Faller. If I were to enter only those paths in Family
Tree Maker, then print an outline descendant tree chart for Thomann, it
would be about five pages without duplicating intermarriages. I would not even
attempt to print a regular ancestry or descendancy tree.
The farms in the Gütenbach area which are covered in the book by Klara Werber

(6/21/05)From Paul Faller:
The earliest overseas emigration I know about is that of Bernard Faller who
was born in Barr, Alsace on 12th August 1822. He died in the 1880s. He was one
of four Faller brothers who emigrated with an aunt, Marianne Mertian, to Jasper
County, Illinois in 1838 to develop land purchased by a gentleman from
Strasbourg, F X Mertian. The land would eventually be divided between the
Mertian and Faller families. It is fascinating to read the Agreement between
Mertian and the parents of the Faller sons. I quote the first of 13 articles
signed on 12th July 1829.
M Mertian binds himself to advance a sum of ten thousand French francs for
the purchase of one thousand acres of America, half forest and half uncultivated
land situated in the United States of America, province of Illinois, settlement
of the Picquet brothers.
An article from "The Newton Weekly Press", dated 7th March 1878, which
describes how Bernard lost his watermills in a fire following an explosion.
Undaunted, he promptly went into partnership with another well-known
businessman, and built a new mill. Bernard is described as an honoured pioneer
and influential businessman of Jasper County. He had made his initial fortune in
the California goldrush of the early 1850s.
Another early emigrant to the USA was Adam Faller (or Faler), (b.1813;
d.1889). He settled in the State of Mississippi in 1847 and had eight children -
Ferdinand, Martin, Charley, Catherine, Elizabeth, Rachel, Caroline, and one
other. The tombstone describes him and his wife, Caroline Martel, as natives of
Alsace, Germany. His great-grandson Francis of New Orleans (b 1921) says they
came from Gambsheim near Strasbourg. This Francis is the son of Martin, son of
Charles (or Charley),(b.November 1843), the third child of Adam and Caroline.
Charles was three years old when they came over.
Adam was a farmer at Williamsburg in Covington County near Hattiesburg. He
had a brother, Martin, who settled in Copiah County, Hazelhurst, Mississippi
near Jackson and made a fortune there. There seem to have been other Fallers who
settled in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and other areas at the
time. The 1830's and 1840's were bad times in Alsace, accounting for a massive
emigration to the States and Canada. There is a problem tracing Fallers in
America. In the ship's list that arrived in New Orleans from Le Havre, France,
the name was spelt Foeller, the 'OE' being pronounced the same as 'A'. Others
spell it Fehler, and , as mentioned above, Faler is also fairly common. Francis,
who has supplied me with these details, uses this variation.
The American Fallers seem to be fairly large if the number of Fallers
appearing in various sources is anything to go by. Here are a few prominent
figures I've come across: In the British Isles, George Faller was in London at least between 1897 and
1919. John Benson Faller (b 26\9\1921 in Buenos Aires), son of Albert Faller (d
1967), is mentioned in Debrett's Distinguished People of Today (1989). He was
educated at Downside, Jesus College, Cambridge. In 1947 he married Mary,
daughter of Sir Joseph Sheridan (d 1964), former Chief Justice of Kenya and
President of the Court of Appeal for East Africa. John has a son and two
daughters. He served in World War II with the Coldstream Guards in North Africa
and Italy and was wounded in 1944. He is formerly chairman of Henry W Peabody
Grain Ltd and is a member of Boodle's Club and the MCC.
There are Fallers who are prominent jewellers in Galway, Ireland. Stephen
Faller Limited of Williamsgate Street are described on their letterhead as the
`Home of the Claddagh Ring'. The business has been there since 1879, and the
present owners are Paul and Bernadette Faller with three shops and a mail order
business. Stephen Faller (b. 1855) arrived in Galway from the Black Forest in
about 1870. His father's name was apparently Thomas. Stephen married twice, his
second wife being a Bertha Dorer. Paul's father was Cornelius who died in June
1992. There was also William (b.1860, d.1941), a half-brother of Stephen, who
set up business in Derry, Northern Ireland.
When looking through the lists of estates in the Pretoria Master of the
Supreme Court Office I was intrigued to find listed a John Faller (ESTATE NO
85813) who had died somewhere between 1911 and 1958. I learned from the State
Archives that he had never been resident in South Africa. But was he a
prisoner-of-war captured in South West Africa during World War I? There is a
form in the file from the Magistrate's Office (dd24\8\1934) directing J F Schopf
& Hoepner of Trysa Buildings, Andries Street to liquidate and distribute the
estate to the following beneficiaries: Some distinguished members in the Deutscher Biographischer Index. (2/4/05)From Hans Kuoni:While searching

beleived he was gassed. He was then in and out of hospital frequently. He was
taken away from fighting, and put into cookery school, he was still in and out

to Brisbane straight away and admitted to hospital here 4 May 1918. Theodore was
discharged 28 May as an invalid, and pensioned off 8 June 1918. Eda Pinnow
married Theodore Faller in 1918.
The Belgian Falleur Branch
(2/7/04)The following information was gleaned from several correspondants.
Most of it is consistent but there appear to be some inconsistencies. See
Research Queries for further information and names of sources. Also see the
Glassworks section on page 3.
Martin FALLER is said to be the ancestor of all Fallers and Falleurs in
Belgium and northern France (the Cambrai area). One source said that Martin
Faller stayed a few seasons in Forbach and that his wife, Marguerite/Margaretha
Siegler had a daughter, christened Madeleine, on the 23 September 1634. Martin
Faller and Marguerite Siegler had five children: Pierre, Jean, Anne, Jacques,
Marie. This generation changed their name to Falleur. Martin moved his family to
Charleroi, Belgium, around 1650. Another source says that Martin married
Margaretha Siegler in 1643 [??], as recorded in the church records of
Guendelwangen [SE of Neustadt].
Martin Faller (d 1685) was the son of Jean/Johann Mathis Faller, b about 1590
in Triberg, and Maria de Berg, who are believed to be from Triberg. Triberg is
just up the road from Schoenwald and Furtwangen, but no one has uncovered how
this line links to the branch detailed under "Schwarzwald Roots." Mathis Faller
is said to have been a glassmaster at the glassworks at Grünwald.
The Charleroi Falleurs were involved in glassmaking and electrical
manufacturing while other descendants of Martin went on to live in France,
Sweden and the USA.
I put together the following names from details submitted by several
correspondents. Symbol oo means married.
Gen. 1 Gen. 2 Gen. 3 Gen. 4 Gen. 5 Gen. 6 Gen. 7 Gen. 8 Gen. 9 Gen. 10 Jean Jacques Lannois is another descendant of Martin and Marguerite. He
wonders if there is a filiation between Martin Faller and Joannis FALLER (x
Barbara KNAUFMANN). He found that Joannis FALLER had a daughter Marie born in
1644 in Isny in Allgau, and that a Martin FALLER was the godfather. It is
reasonable to think that Joannis and Martin FALLER may be brothers, but there is
no proof.
(3/12/03)Fallers from HungaryThanks for
sending this in, Gyula (3/7/03)Naming Notes. See "Origins" for theories as to how the Faller name originated. Also, "Fall"
in German and "fall" in English mean waterfall; Faller may have meant a person
dwelling near a waterfall. Holzfäller means wood-cutter in German. In English a
"faller" means a tree feller or cutter.
The Fallers in Belgium added the u to the last syllable (-er) at the end of
the 17th century to match the French consonance.
According to the Generallandesarchive in Karlsruhe, Fallers are numerous in
Gündelwangen, Grünwald, Donaueschingen and Villingen.
(3/7/03)There are literally hundreds of Fallers, Ferenbachs, Ganters,
Rombachs, etc. listed in David Dale's genealogy. See his link under

list of Faller descendants which appeared to be an appendix to another
publication, possibly by the local historical society. Sorry, that's all I know
about it.

here names of people in any photographs that come my way.
2. 1926 SCHWARZWALDER WALDFEST. A large photograph and article were published
in the Neues Schwarzwalder Tagblatt of September 11, 1926. This German-language
daily was published in New York City in Gothic type font (hence, indecipherable
to me). The article was also published in a Furtwangen paper. Someone has
identified the participants in the photograph by number--perhaps the host, Franz
Xaver Wehrle from Thomaston, CT. A few are listed in my descendants file. Sorry,
the copy is very faint and I may have missed some umlauts, etc. There are misc.
relationships (brother, uncle) I have omitted, so contact me if you have further
questions on these people.
(2/24/05) I have added the photo and a translation of the article.
September 11, 1926, by Alfred Wehrle.
My uncle's house lies outside the city of Thomaston in deep quiet at the foot
of a mountain. A small deciduous forest, not far from it, embellishes the
mountain area. Its high foliage gives a pleasant shade, inviting you to stay.
On America's national holiday, busy hands prepared for the Black Forest
Picnic, making tables and benches. When I first heard about it, my heart
pounded. In my memory, I leafed through the delightful fairy-tale books, up
through the green forest's rustling pines, up the dark hills, and there I saw
joyful men and women with juicy sausages and foaming beer. Oh, wait a minute,
there isn't supposed to be beer here. For a person from the Black Forest, a
picnic without beer is absolutely unthinkable!
A car drove up. A person brought out a basket and brought it into a quiet
little house, whose purpose had not been clear until then. Bratwursts were
pulled out of the baskets and hung up in the small house. Finally, a fire was
lit and soon after that those standing outside could see the smoke coming
bellowing forth from the cracks and crevasses of the mysterious little house.
Gradually, my temperature rose at least ten degrees and there came over me the
hope for a successful picnic for those from the Black Forest. But I never really
understood how the feast could happen without drinks!
Finally another car came rattling up. It was completely loaded with ice.
However, don't think that the ice was intended for cooling beer. Its only job
was that of keeping the ice cream cold. Finally, a small truck arrived. It
couldn't be seen because, in the meantime, night had swept over this great event
and complete darkness had settled in.
A bright Sunday morning dawned and Mrs. Sun had already gotten into her
golden carriage as we met each other at the picnic grounds. How surprised I was
as I heard the charming old names of all those people from the Black Forest and
how great was our common joy! We were all suddenly so near home. With deep
emotion, I shook the hands of Marie Eckseppli; Johann Stiarhisliphilippe; those
three Reichenbach boys from Schutzebe; Adelbert Seilerhanse and his wife from
Fallingrundes; Adolf and Leoe from Dobeldeibife; Mine from Muklisbure; Leo Lini
with his two boys; a copper apprentice and his machine; Otto from Kusselbure;
Balches Steihalde; Berte and his Katzesteig; a Holleburli from Schonwald; a
Miller's boy called Barbas; the Furtwangers; a few dozen Wehrle; and the Great
Fallers, as they are called. That was a heartfelt meeting and a joyous reunion.
Then we chatted and told stories. Questions and answers about dear ones at
home whizzed back and forth and old happy memories were exchanged. In one
corner, the young boys stood crowded together, obviously with something very
important to discuss. All of a sudden one could hear the clinking of glasses and
it's not necessary to say where the drink came from! Soon each had a mug of real
beer before him, a beer so powerful the likes of which you could not even get in
our beloved homeland.
But could something be wrong in my uncle's "well house"? Did it concern that
last car that came? You couldn't say. But finally the mood, the excitement, was
there and it suddenly resounded through the tree tops:
--"O Schwarzwald, O Heimat, wie bust du so schon!"-- Everyone sang with great enthusiasm and then quieted with a slight feeling of
melancholy. But then a sense of happiness and relaxation moved through our Black
Forest hearts, and later on we played Zego in a cozy spot, as it should be
played among real Furwangen people. Careful, people from Gutenbach were there!
Joyful songs of the homeland rang out. Of course, the accordion was not
missing and the young people enjoyed themselves. The Black Forest sausages were
in great demand. It goes without saying how these short hours so far from home
brought us from the Black Forest together. It bound us together in a
warm-hearted community, more tender than those at home.
A man stood up, a vigorous, genuine Black Forest spirit: Ernest (Sword Leo)
from Gutenbach. In warm, sensitive words, he expressed his delight over the
reunion of the 73 Black Forest people from all directions in the United States,
and about the ability to maintain the old home customs and habits even in dry
America. He mentioned, among other things, that now a new spirit of living was
found, diminishing the injury of the eternal chase for the dollar. The speaker,
whose name carries respect in the city of six million, gave a lot of good advice
for the road, especially to us young people.
Before de departed for the picnic, his wife told him, "You are going home."
In this endearing group of our people, we felt ever so much at home that we
hardly noticed that 4,000 miles separated us from the Black Forest hills, where
all of our cradles stood. Like an invisible ribbon, it bound us all together and
made us recognize that we really are close to the homeland. All of us: Marie
Eckseppli; Johann Stiarhisliphilippe; those three Reichenbach boys from
Schutzebe; Adelbert Seilerhanse and his wife from Fallingrundes; Adolf and Leoe
from Dobeldeibife; Mine from Muklisbure; Leo Lini with his two boys; a copper
apprentice and his machine; Otto from Kusselbure; Balches Steihalde; Berte and
his Katzesteig; a Holleburli from Schonwald; a Miller's boy called Barbas; the
Furtwangers; a few dozen Wehrle; and the Great Fallers, as they are called.
These are the people listed on the sides of the article:
1. Joseph Zahringer from Neustadt 1. Hilda sent me a copy of the 150th anniversary program from the St. Märgen
church choir. A photo of the 1899 choir shows: top of page This section contains items from persons researching, to various degrees,
their branch of the Faller family tree, other surnames, or related topics. If
you have any pertinent information, please contact him/her directly (addresses

and added at the top of the list. My most recent update of this section includes
#77 on up.
77. Jack Haywood writes that he is trying to research Maria Agatha Faller,
his Great-Great-Grandmother. Her grandson (Jack's grandfather) was an orphan
with no one to pass along his family history to him. Agatha's Obituary, which
appeared in the Tell City (Indiana) News said: “Mrs. Agatha Weissenberger, a
well known and highly respected woman of this city, died early Monday [February
15, 1909] morning after enduring a number of months illness, without complaint
or much sign of pain. She was the good wife of January Weissenberger and was
noted for her kindness and cheerfulness of character…Mrs. Weisenberger was born
in Baden, Germany, December 27, 1839....She came to this country in the year
1864 and resided in Boston, Massachusetts for one year and then came to this
city, later marrying Mr. Weissenberger, being a residence since. The deceased
was a devout member of the St. Paul Catholic Church....She is survived by a
husband, one daughter, Mrs. Paulina Walters, four sisters, and several
grandchildren."
The Indiana Marriage Record 1850-1920 for Perry County, Indiana shows that
January Weissenberger married Agatha Faller on July 10, 1865. A letter from my
Grandfather indicates that he remembers that his grandparents said that they
were from Alcace-Loraine and Baden-Baden. He also remembers that his
grandparents visited relatives in South Nadick, MA, who were in the shoe
business. The only name he remembers is “HOPPY.” Jack doesn’t know if those were
Faller relatives or his cousins but my grandfather’s biography indicates he was
(also) orphaned at an early age. He immigrated about 1863.
Some have said that Father Edward Faller, a hard working priest in southern
Indiana, was a brother to Agatha, but since Father Faller died after Agatha and
since he is not mentioned in her obituary as a surviving sibling, I wonder if
this is correct (or perhaps priests were not mentioned in obituaries). Father
Faller immigrated thru New Orleans and seems to be related to the Illinois
Fallers.
Jack mentions that Tell City, Indiana, the city in which they lived, was a
planned community developed by the Swiss Colonization Society of Cincinnati,
Ohio. The first settlers moved to the area around 1857. As the city grew, it
adopted the name Tell City after the legendary William Tell to reflect the
heritage of most of its residents who were mostly from the small states of
Germany, Alsace-Loraine, Luxemburg, Belgium and the surrounding area. The Swiss
Colonization Society was a money making operation seeking out settlers (in the
old country, I presume) to buy land and settle in the Tell City area. It seems
that Agatha made the move from Boston to Cincinnati to Tell City in a matter of
weeks suggesting that when she left Boston, Tell City was already her
destination and that she had traveling companions and a reason to go to there. I
do not know anything specific about her U.S. immigration, which would have been
around late 1863 or early 1864. The fact that her and many others used the
formal first name Maria is also confusing.
76. Tina Coleman is searching for ancestors of: GEORGE FALLER was born Abt
1815 in Baden-baden, Germany, and died June 13, 1880 in Trenton, Mercer Co., NJ.
He married MARY ELIZABETH HIMMELSPAHN in Germany. Emigrated to U.S. abt. 1854
with wife and the 4 youngest of their 12 children. 1860 census spelled Faller as
Farrel and some descendants are Fowler.
75. Nigel Lawley writes that he is trying to trace the Lawley family tree.
Lawley was Laule in Germany. Several Lawleys came to England in the late 1700's
and many of them were clock makers. Nigel's g-g grandfather was Joseph Lawley or
Josef LAULE, b 12 feb 1796 in Scwarzenbach. His parents may have been Bernhard
Laule and HELENE FALLER.
74. Björn Fahller of Sweden stems from the glass makers in Finland and Sweden
and plans to do some research into his Faller ancestors in the coming months. He
reports that an "h" was added to Faller a couple of hundred years ago,
73. Jeff Fowler believes his ancestors came to America from Zweibrucken,
Germany about 1760. His fourth great grandfather is Hans Adam Fowler, and his
father was William (Wilhem) and his mother was Catherine. Jeff is uncertain of
the name Fowler before it was anglicized, but Faller seems likely and the
children of William have the common Faller given names. Jeff's information is on
RootsWeb at
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=1431gracest&id=I00290.
72. Paul Faller of South Africa has extensive documentation on Faller
genealogy. About his own branch, he writes:
The earliest directly related Faller I have record of is Martin, born about
1660. He had a farm about two hours south of Hinterzarten (close to Saig) in the
Black Forest, Germany. There is a direct line of descent from this Martin to our
own family. The following information was supplied by Paulheinz Faller of
Freiburg. Martin Faller (b. c.1660\1670; d. 1719). In 1711 he bought what was
later called after him the "Raimartihof" from the Sickengen property company.
The farm lies at the foot of the Feldberg two hours (by foot) south of
Hinterzarten. The home later passed into the hands of the family Andris from
Zastler through marriage to a widow Faller in 1825. The Andris family still own
it today. Simon Faller (b. unknown; d. 1766). Like his father Martin, he was a
farmer on the "Raimartihof" which he had inherited, and he continued with its
construction. In 1723 he married Maria Spiegelhalder and later contracted a
second marriage with Christina Zipfel from Breitnau\Fahrenberg (not far from
Hinterzarten). With these two wives he had eleven children in all. There is a
Pam Wright, née Schuler, living in St Alban's, Hertfordshire, who traces her
lineage back to Anna Faller (born 1772). Anna was the daughter of Simon's
brother, George (born 1743). Josef Faller (b. 4 March 1733; d. 16 May 1797). Son
of Simon, he first married Magdalena Stützerin and after her death, Maria
Steiert (b. 1754) in 1789. Since his father had died relatively young and had
presumably left no will, Raimartihof was at first inherited jointly by Josef and
his brother George. But George bought him out and took over the farm. Josef then
bought a small property on the Fursatz. This property was known by various
names: Steiertenhausle,Wanglerhausle and Weberhausle. In 1795 Josef exchanged
his cottage on the Fursatz for the "Michel-Thomele-Hof" at Hinterzarten-Windeck.
The name of the farm derives from the fact that it had belonged to a Michel
Droscher and then to a Thomas Droscher. Josef had four sons. Johann Georg Faller
(b. 20 March 1790; d. 13 March 1871). He was the eldest son from Josef's second
marriage. Like his father he was a farmer on the "Michel-Thomele-Hof" at
Hinterzarten-Windeck: in dialect the farm is often called "Micheldumelehof".
Together with his wife, Anna Wangler (b. 1789; d. 1831) he had eight children,
one of whom was our great-grandfather Paul, born on 13 May 1823.
Paul also sent in other information listed under "Schwarzwald Roots" and
"Citings."
71. Gottfried Stemmer lives in Regau, Austria, and has 5 children and 10
grandchildren. He's been doing genealogy for about 5 years. His ancestors
emigrated from South Germany to the former Yugoslavia. His Faller-ancestor was
Jakob Faller, b 1732 in Littenweiler near Freiburg. His parents were Jakob
Faller and Barbara Morath, and were living in Breisgau near Freiburg. Gottfried
wants to find out more about the life of these people and further ancestors, and
perhaps to connect them to other Faller branches.
70. Philippe Grasselly is looking for information on Also, - Maria FALLER married around 1650 with Samuel KALTENBACH in the region
of Kirchzarten.

68. Joy Faller Dawson and her cousin Nancy Colby are searching for original
documents on and pictures of her great-grandfather Frances Xavier Faller, born
July 4, 1834, in Barr, Alsace. Frances came to the U. S. in 1852 through New
Orleans. He was a tanner by trade and married and lived in Evansville, Indiana
for 16 years. Joy would love to get names and addresses for the oldest Catholic
churches in Barr, and any pictures of the Faller's or documents about them,
especially Catholic Church records, and family photos.
67. Becky S. is trying to find information on her g-g-g grandfather Peter
Faller, b. 1831. He came from the Alsace-Lorraine area. However, on the 1870
census for Louisville, KY, he listed his orgins as the Baden areas. Peter was
married to Crescence(nee???) b. 1833. They had Albert, Emma, Susan, Emile, Ida
and My g-g-grandfather, William J. Faller b. 1867. Emile worked with tin.
William J. had Mary Eulalia, Alois, Emil, Mary, Francis, Catherine, William John
(my great-grandfather b. 1891), Eleanor and Louis. Emile is listed on the 1910
PA census and in 1920 in Ohio. My grandfather was a barber and his father was a
paperhanger. Would appreciate any information.
66. A.D. is researching the genealogy of Antinetta De Judicibus, b 1885.
65. Barbara Hettwer is searching for descendants of William Villinger, b.
1810 (or 1830 records vary), m. 13 June 1858, Wayne County, Michigan, to Mary
Geimer, d. 18 July 1868. He was in the grocery business in Detroit. Descendants:
2 sons who lived named Albert Villinger & William Villinger. The Villingers
came to the U.S. in 1812.
64. Douglas Ahrens' great-great-grandfather was Anton Faller, born about
1800's, said to have come from the Black Forest. He was listed as a clock maker.
(Doug's grandfather had his tools that he brought from the old country.) In 1838
Anton married Lydia Worrell in Morgan County, Ohio. They had four children.
Doug's great-grand-father was the first boy, Andrew Jackson Faller. He married a
Mary L. Baird in Hocking County, Ohio in March of 1866 after he was discharged
from the Civil War. Doug writes: "My grandfather, Frank Faller was born in
December, 1866. When he was about 18, they moved from Ohio to Bourbon County,
Kansas. Since they all worked in the coal mines, they were afraid of getting the
black lung and turned to farming. Grandfather had 6 brothers and sisters. I have
always wondered when Anton Faller left Germany. There was a Joseph Faller who
lived in the same area of Ohio and was just a year or two younger. It might have
been a brother. Anton Faller and his wife are buried in the Ebenezer Church yard
in Haydenville, Ohio."
63. Jim Lee is researching the JAKOB HUMMEL family, 1818--1869. His
great-great-great-grandfather, LORENZ HUMMEL, was apparently born in Neukirch in
1746. By 1783, he had married GETRUD KALTENBACH, and after her death he married
THERESIA SCHWER, both in Schönwald. A daughter by the first marriage, ANASTASIA
HUMMEL, bore a couple of children out of wedlock, including my
great-grandfather, JAKOB HUMMEL. JAKOB was a painter of clock faces, and
eventually moved to Furtwangen, where my grandmother LIDWINA HUMMEL was born in
1861. Jim lives in Nags Head, NC. Last September he visited Furtwangen,
Neukirch, Schönwald, Triberg, and on into Switzerland, taking about 400
pictures, slides and prints. Jim just finished working on a family book, "The
Hummel Family of Furtwangen, Germany," which has pictures and biographies of
three of the people pictured at the 1926 Schwarzwalder Waldfest mentioned on
this web page.

Carlisle, PA.
55. Vanda from CA is searching for Josef Adolf Zahringer who arrived in
England when he was 8 years old and married an English girl named Thirza Denning
in Kingswood, Bristol about 1898. Vanda believes that Josef adolf Zahringer was
the son of Martin Zahringer and Brigitte Duffner and came from Triberg, or
Neustadt. Vanda has an interest in these families from the Black Forest who were
clock and watchmakers in the Bristol area of England in the late 1800's and
early 1900's. In particular Johan Faller who owned the Swan hotel in Wotton
under edge, Gloucestershire, for about 12 years, as well as being a jeweller and
watch/clock repairer. Also Johann and Joseph Zahringer apprenticed as
watchmakers and subsequently opened jewellry stores in the area. Vanda's husband
is the g-grandson of a Joseph Adolphus Zahringer born in Nusbach or Triberg area
of the Black Forest in June 1873. He had a brother called Johann and they both
travelled to Wotton Under Edge in England in the late 1880's to stay with their
uncle, John Faller who owned the Swan hotel there.
54. Jürgen Sterk's website and genealogy database has Faller connections, and
other surnames common to the Schwarzwald region.

Marguerite SIEGLER and in particular on Marie FALLER who married Jean ANDRES.
Also, he would like to find more information about Joseph FALLER x 09/01/1703
Dorothée HOKERIN (KOCH). From the old church book of Walscheid (Moselle):
51. (3/12/03) Lisa Troxler is looking for a Barbe Faller who married Jost
Troxler (b ~1660) and (d ~ 1698). Their son Johann George or Jean George Troxler
left the Lichtenberg, Alsace, France region to come to America.

surname. Louis Pellnitz had a sister Anna and they ended up in Connecticut.
Louis was married to Mary, unknown maiden name, in Connecticut. Her grandfather
was Gustave E. PELLNITZ, born in the U.S. and married to Matilda FULDNER. Other
PELLNITZ references: Ernst, Julius, Franz, Mary, and Johann.
49. (3/12/03) Pat Short is descended from Jean Baptiste Fallour AKA John B.
Fallure. The descendants of his son Nicholas Fellure and wife Sarah Antill, have
a reunion in Gallia Co., OH, where Nicholas arrived shortly before his death.
Nicholas had 2 wives and I believe 22 children. Sarah was his second wife and
Pat's ancestor. Pat would appreciate anything on Jean Baptiste Fallour.
48. (3/12/03) Gyula Faller of Budapest writes that her great-grandfather
lived in Salköveskút (Salkoveskut), a small village in Hungary with a lot of
Fallers. Gyula wonders about the connection between the German and Hungarian

46. (3/11/03) Laurence Kent Fellure's earliest direct ancestor is Jean
Faller, born in 1590 in Triberg, Belgium. He wants to share information and
gedcom files with any other Fellure or Fellure relatives. If anyone knows who
now owns the land in Guyan Township, Ohio where the Fellure Cemetery sits, email
Laurence.
45. (3/6/03) David Dale is pursueing the Buerkle branch of his tree. The
Buerkles in this side of his family were clockmakers of some sort and lived at
the Winkelhof in Neukirch, farm 9b. Johann Furtwaengler married Nothburg Ganter,
and their daughter Barbara married Johann Evang. Buerkle around the same time as
Clara Buerkle, daughter of Jacob Buerkle [in my descendants file] and I think
they're connected to JE Buerkle and his father Matthaus, but have no proof. Can
anyone can shed light on the Buerkles from Neukirch?
44. (9/23/02) Carol Fender writes: "I am looking for information about
Adeline FALLER who married Ernest Kluckner. Adeline was born in Frankfurt,

Martin FALLEUR and Marguerite SIEGLER had five children: Pierre (My
ancestor), Jean, Anne, Jacques, Marie.
I am researching three points: (1) An article of Léo Maurice CRISMER said:
Martin Falleur stayed only few season in Forbach, coming of Triberg, in the
Black Forest, where his wife, Marguerite Siegl or Siegler, brought into the
world, on the 23 September 1634, a daughter christened Madeleine. I would like
any information on Madeleine. (2) Marie FALLEUR would be married with Jean
ANDRES? (3) Where can I find the ancestors of Jean Mathis FALER?

Fehrenbach went to Brazil. If anyone has further leads, please contact Fabio.
39. (4/9/02) Ed Benning has done extensive research on his ancestors in
Gütenbach, Furtwangen and Pfaffenweiler and wants to figure out how his branch
ties into others. He would be a good source for specific questions based on the
church records.
38. (5/27/01) Dermot Faller of Derry Ireland is researching his family. His
father is Stephen Faller, son of William Faller from Freiburg.

Mathaus.]
36. (5/21/01) Pam Dvorak writes that her husband's grandmother was Elizabeth
Faller, (b. Fryeburg PA, abt. 1885-1946), m. Henry Hufnagel, ( 1880-abt. 1960,
Clarion County, PA). Her grandfather was Jacob Faller I, (b.7/3/1803, Baden

1824, m. Mary Ann VanDaniker (B. Switzerland, met in Germantown, Phila., PA,
possibly a Quaker). His son, Jacob II m. Mary Greibel (b. 1837, Lucinda, PA).
They had nine children, and Elizabeth was their daughter. This branch of
Faller's were cabinetmakers/woodworkers, then morticians, bankers, landowners,
business owners (now furniture stores in Western PA, she believes). Pam would
love to hear from other Faller connections out there.
35. (2/27/03) A.F. is looking for information on ancestors of her

34. (2/4/00) Rebecca Faller writes from the Rock of Gilbraltar: My husband is
Nikolaus Faller from the Black Forest. His parents are Louis Faller and Arnold
Faller (deceased) and they ran a guest house called Falken in Oberbraend in the
1970's and before that a bar called Schnitzer in Bondorf. My husband was
actually adopted by the Fallers in 1961 when he was a few months old, so he is
not a blood Faller.
33. (6/14/00) GJF's grandfather was Anton Faller and the Faller branch
originated in the Black Forest area. At some point, 7 Faller brothers dispersed
around the world. Recurring names in the family are Anton, George, Wilhelm or
William, Stefan or Stephen, and Michael.
32. (4/5/2000) Alison Spring writes: My husband's family here in Scotland
married into a Faller family from Linach, Baden, in the Black Forest. They were,
to a man, clock and watchmakers and jewellers, the furthest back we know of
being Anton Burkle Faller, b. 1800. His sons Augustine Faller and Joseph Faller
came to Scotland sometime before 1844, when Augustine married a local girl and
settled in Glasgow. Their son William Faller married Mary Jean Wyatt.
31. (4/5/2000) Sandy Faller is looking for the family of Jacob Faller, b. 10

28. (11/16/99) Wille Faller of Sweden is looking for someone who knows
anything about a Faller or Faler who was a German merchant or noble with a
residence in Finland (maybe the Rauma region along the coast) around 1800-1850.
That would be his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. He was born outside
of marriage and the church where any records may have been found burned down at
the turn of the century. The Mathias Faller connection to Sweden/Finland, is NOT
the right one, according to Wille's grandfather.
27. (11/11/99) Ed Faller writes: My great-grandparents came from Germany
sometime in the late 1800's and settled in Dunmore, PA. They had at least three

locating any close cousins.
24. (11/3/99) John Faleur writes: I have nearly 100 pages of documentation
going back to Mathis Faller or Jean Faller circa 1590, provided to me by a
cousin in France. The Faleur branch, which does not appear very numerous, is
descended from the glassmakers from the Charleroi area, and is mostly in Belgium
or France (the Cambrai area). I have about 30 names and addresses excluding my
own direct forebears and cousins etc. The local art gallery in Cambrai,
incidentally, is in the Maison Faleur.
23. (11/3/99) P.D.'s descendancy is from Barbara Faller, daughter of Michael
Faller and Fanziska Faller. Barbara married Thomas Scherzinger from the
Gassenloch in Furtwangen, and bought the Bachhof(Breiteck) from his
father-in-law Michael. Barbara's daughters Barbara and Genovefa married
brothers, Mathaus Dold and Jakob Dold, respectively. Mathaus is a
g-g-grandfather. Barbara's son, Wenzeslaus had a son, also Wenzeslaus, who moved
to Schonwald, and his daughter, Ottilia, married a Gregor Kuner from
Rohrhardsberg. P.D. is descended from Gregor's granddaughter.
22. (11/3/99) S.H. is researching Lambert Hepting, son of Sebastian Hepting
& Catherine Mutly (possibly Muckle) born abt. 1832/4 in Neukirch. The family
were noted clockmakers there for many years. Lambert later immigrated to
Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland where he became an apprentice to his Uncle
Peter Ketterer who was a jeweler. Lambert later opened his own jewelry shop
there, which is still in business today (although no longer in the family).
Sebastian's ancestry MAY be: Marte Kern; Cyriac Mader m. Brigita Kernin; Andreas
Hebding m. Margareta Maderin; Barnhard Hebding; Mathias Hebding; Anton Hepting
m. Katharina Faller (Anton's sister Gertrud married Josef Beha); Sebastian
Hepting m. Catherine Mutle (Muckle).
S.H. also has some info on this line: Hans Valer; Thomann Valler; Theis
Valler; Thoma Valler (see next for his brother Jakob); Maria Fallerin m. Mathias
Beurlin (son of Thoma Beurlin). All of this information is new to S.H., who is still digging to uncover as
much as possible, and is willing to share. Any help would be much appreciated.
21. (9/15/99) Craig Andrew Duffner is from Bristol, England, second son of
Ronald William Duffner and Florence Elizabeth Tovey. His grandfather was Leonard
Duffner who married Ethel Elizabeth Reed after his first wife (Katherine Bottle)

Robert Emmanuel where he lived as a child. However he was born in Kilmarnock,
Scotland (18 June 1874) where his parents were married on 24th March 1865. They
were Albert Adalbert Duffner and Elizabeth Agnew. Albert had emmigrated from
Germany originally and returned to Germany at some point. Albert's parents were
Emanuel Duffner and Anastasia Faller as indicated on his marriage certificate.
Craig would like to trace Anastasia's ancestors.
20. (7/4/99) John Nihoul was born and raised in Belgium and works in the U.S.
(and Paris). His mother is a Falleur and traces her line back to Jean Faller of
Triberg in the 1590's. Jean Faller's son was Martin Faller, said to be the
ancestor of all Fallers and Falleurs in Belgium and northern France, moved his
family to Charleroi, Belgium. The Carleroi Falleurs were involved in glassmaking
and electrical manufacturing. There is a town in PA called Charleroi surrounded
by glass factories. Specific data on John's lineage is shown in the next
paragraph. He is interested in further sources for the Falleur name.
Mother: Georgette Falleur-Nihoul b 30 Nov 1920 Charleroi, daughter of Georges
Falleur b 4 Apr 1890 Gilly, son of Pierre Auguste Falleur b 19 Sep 1857

France, mainly through another son Jules Auguste Falleur, and USA through his
great-grandson Jules Gabriel Falleur.
19. (3/5/99) Erik Holmlund is a genealogist from Sweden. Around 1750, Mathias
Faller, a German glassblower, came to Sweden. The glassblower profession stayed
in the family for many following generations of Fallers in Sweden and Finland.
Mathias Faller may have come from the part of Germany called Bohemia/Böhmen. He
was born approximately 1726. Erik would like any information on Mathias.
18. (2/12/99) Vicki Alexander is a descendant of Francois Joseph Faller and
Therese Theriac. She would like to get in touch with other descendants of

16. NM is researching the history of her family (Frutiger) in connection with
the battle of Morgarten. (See history of House of Faller, above.) A Frutiger may
have fought alongside Enderlei Faller (Andreas Faller) who was mortally wounded
in 1315 fighting for Swiss freedom. Anyone with an interest is invited to
contact NM.
15. (5/20/98) Francis Faler of Louisiana has researched many generations of
his family [but I have yet to tie him into my main line]. If anyone knows of a
Faller or Faler [not sure what time frame] in Bayou Sarah in LA, please contact
him or me.
14. (6/1/98) David Dale of Sydney is descended from Georg Furtwaengler and
Maria Faller (c 1750) and Joannes Herrmann and Mechtild Faller (c 1760). David
would be interested in any details of the following families from Neukirch and
surrounding areas: Beha, Dilger, Faller, Furtwaengler, Ganter, Goke (Goeke),
Hepting, Herrmann, Ketterer, Kurner, Pfaff, Rombach, Tritscheler (Tritschler),
Waldvogel, Wehrle, Winterhalder (Winterhalter). Anyone else researching the same
names should contact David.
13. (4/27/98) Robert Dennis is interested in locating the ancesters of Georg
Faller. 12. (4/27/98) Rose Meintjes writes: I grew up in Durban, South Africa. My
grandfather was William Frank Valler, b. somewhere in England, on 6th December,
1886 and he came to this country [South Africa] when he was 4 yrs old. My father
was John William Valler, b. 29th April, 1917, and sadly he is not here to learn
of all the Vallers/Fallers that exist, as he passed away on 14th July, 1989. I
am the last of his 3 daughters. All our heritage, both sets of grandparents,
trace back to England. One thing I do remember being told was that the name
Valler dated back to Anglo Saxon times. My father's only sister's name was
Dorothea and she was known as "Doll" or "Dolly", and my father was only ever
called "Jack."
11. Miriam Faller Kelley is looking for information on the Irish branch of
the family, particularly from Galway or Derry. Stephen Faller his wife and son stayed in Galway, he was also a jeweller and
watchmaker and sucessful in his business. (The name Faller and business still
continues on Galway today). Stephen's wife d. and he m. his cousin
Bertha(German) and had two sons and two daughters. His 1st son William trained
as a jeweller and joined his father in business, m. and had 2 children. Stephens
other children also got involved in the business, m. and had families.
Miriam is a direct descendant of Leo Faller and welcomes help in tracing the
Faller family and hearing from any other Fallers.
10. (11/2/01) Robert de Falleur of Brussels is descended from Martin Faller
who came to Belgium around 1650 (the next generation changed the spelling of the
name). Robert is continuing to research the ancestry of Martin Faller, whose
descendants have migrated all over the world including U.S. and Sweden. See
further information under Glass Works. From the book by Ludwig Moser
Badisches Glas, Robert has learned that Martin's father was (Johann)
Mathis Faller, glassmaster at the glassworks at Grünwald. Martin married
Margaretha Siegler in 1643, as recorded in the church records of Gündelwangen.
9. JK mentions that some Faller went to northern Finland and started a glass
factory, possibly in Oulu on Bay of Bothnia. JK has the name of someone
researching this branch.
8. LF has traced his branch back to a Josef Thomas Faller who married Barbara
Reichenbach and had a son Johann b. in 1812 in Waldkirch.
7. (7/4/99) Miguel Faller writes: "I am one of the grandchildren of Felix
Faller Rombach, from Baden Villingen, Furtwagen (Born 10 Aug.1845. Catholic). He
came to the Yucatan, Mexico, to establish a hardware store to supply the boom of
the henequen haciendas during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
I believe that over the last 100 years, he was the only Faller who arrived in
Mexico and had descendants."
Miguel welcomes questions about the hacienda (see Miscellany). Since
posting the above query, Miguel has heard from a cousin in England and learned
further that: "regarding some information about my grandfather Felix Faller
Rombach, his parents were Michael Faller and Genoveva Rombach. His brothers and
sister were Albertina (b. 15 Jan. 1844), Albert (b. 25 May. 1846), Joseph (b. 9
Mar. 1847), Emma (b. 9 Nov. 1848), Bertha (b. 8 Nov. 1851), Leopoldina (b. 15
Nov. 1852), and Oskar (b. 2 Dec. 1853)."
6. GF was b. in Waldkirch in 1963, surrounded by Faller cousins. He mentions
that it's more interesting to do research in USA where the Fallers are not so
ubiquitous. When he retires GF plans to keep tracing the link from his branch to
the Fallgrund near Gütenbach.
5. (17 Oct 1998)Jörg Zamberger is from Austria and his mother (Gen9) was a
Faller. His grandfather (Gen8) was Johann Theodor Faller (1907-1968). His
great-grandfather (Gen7) was Johann Chrysostomus Faller, b.20.4.1874 in Sztavna
(=CTABHE,West-Ukraine). The following persons are all born in
Glaswald/Schapbach(Black Forest/Germany). Gen6: Chrysostomus Faller
(b.24.1.1843). Gen5: Cölestin Faller (30.5.1811-31.1.1886). Gen4: Kaspar Faller
(Caspar Faller) (5.1.1769-11.8.1844). Gen3: Andreas Faller
(25.10.1737-14.12.1798). Gen2: Johannes Valler (Johannes Faller)
(4.5.1687-25.11.1751). Gen1: Jerg Valler (Jerg Faller) (1662,1663-28.2.1723).
Jörg has all brothers and sisters of these persons (with the exception of Jerg
and Johannes). He is looking for ancestors of Jerg Faller and other Fallers with
a connection to Glaswald/Schapbach.
4. Roland Faller would like to find links to the Fallerhof in
Elzach-Oberprechtal.
3. DF has traced his branch back to a Peter Faller who came to the US through
New York (?) from Switzerland in the mid 1800's. He would like to find out where
to go for information from Europe.
2. (4/30/98) Stephen Troy writes: My Great-grandfather was named Ludwig
Faller. He was from Germany, not sure where, but family rumors say Bavaria. My
Great-grandmother was born Friederika Kolb. She first married a man named Klein,
who owned a sawmill. They had a daughter, also Friederika. When Herr Klein died
she married Ludwig. They had a daughter Maria Magdalena Faller (Mary Faller), b.
March 4, 1885, who became my grandmother--she died in 1977. Around 1886 they
came to America, and lived in Utica, New York area. They had two more children
there, Anna Faller and August Faller. Friederika (Sr.) died in Utica in 1896. I
have been unable to find out much more. I would mostly like to find out where in
Germany they came from. Mary's marriage certificate (1911) lists her birthplace
as Seligenstadt, Bavaria.
1. DFK's great-grandparents were Anton Faller and Franziska Kuss, both born
in Neukirch. DFK and her husband JK travelled to Germany and traced Anton's line
further: his parents were Johann Chrisotomus Faller (b.1/17/1798) and Barbara
Kupferer. Johann's parents were Mathias Faller (b. 2/7/1755) and Maria Duffner
(b. 9/28/1754). Mathias's parents were Andreas Faller and Anna Magdalena Wehrle.
DFK is also descended from Thomas Beha-Bohmann.

I've deleted them in the list below. Please inform me of routine address changes
unless you want to drop out completely.
(9/7/04) The following "Fallers" have expressed an interest in genealogy.
Some are in the descendants file and some are not connected to it yet. I have
many more names of Fallers who have attended reunions in the past; if you need
to know if I know any Fallers in a certain country or place, I can check my
records and let you know by e-mail. The first name is myself; the rest of the
names are in alphabetical order. If you would like to contact someone whose
email is not listed, I will forward the message.
(1/17/2006) Since I sent out a general email yesterday, changing my address,
I received about 10 incorrect address notices back. So I've deleted them from
the list below, but kept the name.
Be sure to replace ATSIGN in the following addresses, with an "@." I changed
the ATSIGN to thwart hackers looking for email addresses.

(10/28/01) Thanks to Robert de
Falleur for this information on Fallerhofs around Lenzkirch (south of
Furtwangen): taken from a 1953 book by Max Weber [sorry I cannot
decipher the old German title]: Felix Faller (1841-?) was an artist from the
Fallerhof in Kappel, who depicted the exterior of the house and an interior of a
death-watch (Totenwache). Other pictures by Felix Faller are shown. Photo of
Kommerzienrat Franz Josef Faller 1820-1887. Pictures of Michael Faller
(1791-1857), Kreszentia Kammerer Faller (1797-1874), Maria Agathe Laule Faller
(1782-?). Family tree of Walter Tritscheller (1860-1921). Please refer to
"Citings" for a list of names from this book.
"My Dear Countryman: ... As you know, the difficulty of our research
lies in the fact that the "Fallengrund" farm, of which you came to hear at
Neukirch, and therefore, outside of the subsequent research (inquiries), remains
with the Pastor Schüssle. In the time between our correspondence, I concluded
that our ancestors (forbearers) wandered from Switzerland to
Dreisamtal [area between Freiberg
and the Feldberg] after 1372 A.D. The "Diesselmuther Bergweisthum" from the year
1372 puts forth a complete family list of all names, who were well-to-do at that
time in the "Bergrevier Kirchzarten." One copy, of a copy of the 18th century,
surely in St. Blasien, was
accessible to me, also I consulted a copy of the "Compromise and Order of the
Totnauer Froner" of 1438, in which appears the name for the first time, but they
are probably the "Totnauer" [Todtnauer] Fallers who figured here; in any case,
we are all from the common extraction. ... [Todtnau is about 18 km
south/southeast of Freiburg.]
"Aunt
Minnie, Roslindale, Wilhemine Faller, wife of the recently deceased Adolf
Faller, is the daughter of the Leo Faller an-der-Strasse (on the street) in
contrast to my father, Leo Faller am Bach (on the stream). Their father, better
known, regionally, as the BreiteckerLeo, as his house originally stood on the
wide/broad corner. It burned down many years ago, and he built the new, present
standing house on the street. He was even better known in ancient times as the
"Stoffel-Diewise Leo." His father was "the Stoffeldeiwis," or Christoph
(Thaddeus?) Faller. We old people recall still the exact history, Leo maintained
the fountain of his old "Hofstatt" on the "Breiteck" and conveyed it in wooden
barrels to his new house. The distance was (approximately) an English mile and
with every spring, he had to make repairs; this cost him a small fortune. The
route went the way from our house, past the Schmittebruck and Landstrasse....
The Stoffeldeiwis died before I was born; he is a descendant of Falligrund, was
an older son of the farmer, and, consequently, did not inherit the farm; his
youngest brother did. It shouldn't be all that difficult for me to enter the
Stoffeldeiwis in the Ahnentafel. He was most probably born in the 18th century.
In any case the "Breiteck" belonged to the Gütenbach, not the Neukirch,
municipality. ...
"A story of the Faller House: Agatha Ketterer, farmer on the Lehmansgrund,
was accused of witchcraft; she was thus tortured, in order to bring her to
confession, and subsequently burned. (This occurred around 1625.) She is
supposed to have bewitched the milk of other farmers' cows so that they would
give blue (skimpy) milk, while her own cows would give such excellent butter.
She is supposed to have made this butter on the "Ankenbühl" farm. The name
Ankenbühl remains the same even today; but she (Ketterer) was not burned at this
place; she was taken to the city of Triberg. A commemoration or service for this
"witch" was established by her husband. It is still held to this present day.
This husband's name was given to be Martin Kern. It is supposed that he
remarried.
Here a few remarks
may be added about the origin and meaning of this family name which is very
wide-spread in the Upper Black Forest. There are often several possibilities for
the explanation of the linguistic meaning of a family name. In that case one
speaks about concurrences or "crossings of interpretation." Often the arbitrary
spelling of names blocks the access to their original meaning. In farming areas
in Southern Germany family names are frequently connected with the names of
homesteads. It is plausible, therefore, to see the name Faller in connection
with the name of the Fallengrund farm; but by doing so the question has only
been shifted to: How is the name of this farm to be interpreted? Considering the
historical, legal and economic development in this area of the Black Forest the
following explanation can be given:
MAPS & LOCATIONS
ORIGINS
This section includes all the pre-Schwarzwald
information--that is, our Swiss, Italian and beyond roots. (Thanks to Hilda
Patrick, Robert de Falleur, Jean-Pierre Faller and Wille Faller.)
The following excerpts from the
Rätisches Namenbuch, by Huber, were sent in by Robert de Falleur. The
passages are all from the "Wohnstätten- und Herkunfsnamen" section for
Graubünden canton in Switzerland. The first passage under the heading FALERA
indicates possible connections among the various name forms. [Pardon my feeble
translation.]
This list was
followed by the following explanation:
The Falera form of the name derives from the Surselva district of
Gra.
The Faller form of the name derives from valley-inhabitants in general
or inhabitants of the Faller valley (VAL DA fALLER) near Mulegns in particular;
it is impossible to be more definitive.
The Vallar form of the name derives
from other German districts.
Could the Fallers have come from the
ancient Etrurian city of Falerii, founded by Halaesus, son of Agamemnon? Follow
the trail through Italy back to Greece, or on to Chur, Graubünden, Switzerland
then Germany and Alsace.
Falerii, near the present-day Civita Casellana north
of Rome, was built on a plateau surrounded on three sides by gorges 200 ft.
deep. It was conquered by the Romans in 241 B.C. The following quotes are from
Baedeker's Central Italy. "The Plateau of Falerii: At Civitatia
Castellana, where the town of the Falerii once stood, an important centre of S.
Etruria captured by Camillus 396 BC, destroyed by Pomarus in 241 BC. The
inhabitants were removed to Falerium Novum further south, but they returned in
the 8th and 9th centuries to the former town." Their motto is purported to have
been 'Drink today and don't worry about tomorrow.' "To reach Falerii, you must
cross the valley of Fosso Maggiore and then Rio del Purgatorio with its numerous
[Etruscan] rock tombs.... At Villa di Papa Giulio there is a museum and on the
ground floor are vases from Corchiano (near Falerii). On the walls are copies of
paintings in Etruscan tombs, terracotta wall coverings from the Etruscan temples
of ancient Falerii and a plan of the excavation at Falerii. There is a coffin
hollowed out of a tree-trunk with the skeleton and the coarse early earthenware
in it."
Faleria or Falerio Piceno was a municipal town on the
left bank of the Tinna (now the Tenna), about 20 miles from the sea, near Marche
(the area east of Umbria). It had a senate and magistrates and was mentioned at
the time of Hadrian, Domitian and Antonines. The ruins are still there one mile
below the modern village of Falerone. The ruins consist of an amphitheatre and
statues and architectural fragments of buildings.
Several Venetian doges may have been
Faller ancestors. Vitale Valier was the 32nd Doge. Ordelafo Faliero was the 34th
Doge. He brought bones of St. Stephen and fragments of the True Cross back from
the Holy Land. Marino Faliero was the 55th Doge. Bertuccio Valerio was the 102nd
Doge. Silvestro Valier was the 109th Doge.
In
Greece in 1400 BC the city of Mycenae (at Argos) was formed by mainly Cretans.
Good pottery and bronzes (jeweled daggers found in Mycenaen graves) were made.
In 1200 BC Mycenae was captured by Dorians and their culture ended. Around
1400-1200 BC Agamemnon lived. He was a Mycenaen from Achaia, northwest of
Corinth. In the legends he was responsible for the siege of Troy, north of Lydia
in Asia Minor. The Etruscans came from Lydia and pottery was exported from Troy
to Rome from around 1500 BC. (The ancient and powerful city of Falerii,
described above, is one of the 12 cities that composed the Etruscan
confederation.)
In 1326 a Gaudentius (Gaudenz) von Faleria came to Chur. This
seems to indicate there is a connection between Faleria or Falerii (Italy) and
Chur (Switzerland). While a definitive connection cannot yet be made, the
artistic bent and wine-making skills of the Falerii people certainly could have
travelled with them even to the present-day Fallers. See also the list of early
Swiss Fallers above.
FAMOUS
FALLERS
born
2/23/1707 in Neukirch, d. 2/3/1791 at St. Märgen. His father was Georg Faller of
Oberfallengrund and his mother was Barbara Furtwängler. Mathias Faller was an
apprentice wood carver with the master wood carver Phillipp Winterhalder at
Gengenbach in Baden. After that he traveled for many years and worked at
Augsburg, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Colmar (France), and Rome. Then in 1735 he
served two years as a friar in the monastary St. Märgen. Later on he worked in
St. Peters, Black Forest, for 20 years and he was known as the most famous wood
carver for baroque churches in the southwest area of Baden, Black Forest and
Breisgau.
This altar in the
church at the Kartause Ittingen museum is by Mathias Faller. (Photo credit
Verlag Photoglob AG, Zurich). By the way, Ittingen is in Frauenfeld in the
canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
This picture is
of the library next to St. Peter's Church. Mathias Faller's work can be seen on
the balcony. His sculptures were of gilded wood, hollow
inside.
From
the Dictionnaire Historique et Biographique de la Suisse (Societe General
Suisse, Neuchatel, 1920): FALLER: Family probably from Baden, present in several
cantons. Johann Faller, architect, b. 1817 at Sufers (Rheinwald), has built the
beautiful wood bridge on the gorge of Rusein near Disentis, the "Kurhaus" of
Schuls-Tarasp and other places. d. 1874 at Remüs.

All of the Hungarian towns and villages mentioned
in the Ellis Island records are situated in a concentrated area in Bacska, which
formerly belonged to south of Hungary and now belongs partly to Yugoslavia,
partly to Croatia. About Kullod [one of the towns, now in Yugoslavia] from a
genealogical point of view (English, German): Kullod. The
author in the bibliography is very interesting. It mentions that in the village
in the year 1890 the inhabitants are almost all Germans. Osijek (hungarian
spelling: Eszék) is a well-known Croatian town. Other Hungarian Fallers live at
Várpalota centre of Hungary. One of them was a famous mine-engineer in Hungary.
His name was Faller Jenõ (1894-1966). (He was also the founder and the first
director of the Central Mining Museum in Hungary.) And there is a secondary
school named "Faller Jenõ szakképzõ iskola" at Várpalota for training miners.
Fehrenbach or
Ferenbach is a corruption of Forellen-bach or Trout-stream. Obviously whoever
was given that nick-name first lived beside a trout-stream. Paul Dold's
ancestors come from the Schochenbach valley off the Katzensteig, north of
Furtwangen. Schochenbach or Schachenbach comes from Schachen (copse) and bach
(stream) - hence, copse beside the stream.

In 1881 approx. two brothers,
Stephen, Leo and their half brother William came to Ireland from Baden-Baden in
the Black Forest, Germany, their wives and families also came. Stephen and Leo
stayed in Galway (Southern Ireland), William went on to Derry (North of Ireland)
with his wife and made their home there, they had nine children: 2 sons and 7
daughters. There is doubt if William was m. when he arrived, he may have m.
later. He had a good business as a jeweller and watch maker. His 2 sons and
eldest daughters also became jewellers, 2 of his daughters became nuns and
another a dentist. His eldest son David m. had 2 daughters and settled in
Dublin. William's 2nd son Stephen carried on the business in Derry m. and had a
family.
