Where did the German Felkner family come from? What is the German Felkner family crest and coat of arms? When did the Felkner family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Felkner family history?

The German surname Felkner is derived from the Old Germanic word "Falkiner," meaning a "hawker" or a "keeper and trainer of falcons." During the Middle Ages falconry was common practice among nobility, who kept birds of prey for hunting. The caretaker of those birds would be the falconer, one of whom may have taken on this occupational name as his surname.
