Help[Facts] Re: Felty surname
in reply to a message by Diane Wilson
My grandmother's maiden name was Felty. My mother's DNA results came back with 39% Scandinavian and very little German. I think the origin in Sweden is looking good. She always thought she was Pennsylvania Dutch. She also came back with 25% Irish, which I was also able to track down to a long standing family in Cornwall, Pa called the Shays.

Felty is definitely not Scandinavian its definitley of German orgin ive done a ton of research on the surname & also my grandfather spoke fluent German and told us the Feltys were German Lutherans who came to the United States in the 1700s and settled in Lancaster Pennsylvania area. Ive took a DNA test on 23andme and ancestry.com and im 49 percent British, 30 percent German, 12 percent Irish, 5 percent Iberian and only 3 percent Scandinavian and 1 percent African
