The Feist name appears to originate in Germany according to oral tradition. The Feist Families Project will compare the DNA of Feist Families from different locations to see if there is a common origin. The Feist Families DNA Project is a place for descendants of Karl & Karolina Feist to explore their matches. The Feist Family Project is also a place to explore matches for families with Family Finder DNA matches to our Feist-Dixon-Landrum-Minton-Miller family and to our Feist-Vollmer-Meyer-Kramer-Feger-Obert-Huber-Wegmann-Spattgalsten family. We are currently searching for the common ancestor of Dixon and Miller families who are autosomal matches to our Feist-Dixon-Minton-Miller family. The Feist Family Project is also a place to explore matches between the Kelly, Kidd and Stark families. We are looking for our common ancestor.
