If you found anything out, my maiden name is Felty and I've hit a dead end. Please email me at amber.nieto1711@gmail.com if you have any info on the Felty's.

Felty is definitely German ive done a ton of research on the name and DNA tests on 23andme and ancestry.com confirm im 30 percent German ancestry.Lastly my great grandfather spoke fluent German and said that the Felty family came from Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1700s and that alot of his family were devout Lutheran followers. To my knowledge the Felty surname is an americanized german surname that was originally Velte or Velten it has no Scandinavian or Swedish roots.
