The Feller family most likely originated in the area around the town of FELL in Germany's Trier region. Records can be traced back to the late 1600's in the town of Ruwer, which include references to the town of Fell. But for many generations the Fellers lived in the town of Osburg before some of them immigrated to the Unites States.
