The Fischers of Huron and Perth Counties, Ontario, Canada

Updated March 20, 2005

This family history traces the descendents of Christopher Fischer, who arrived in Fullarton Township, Perth County, Ontario, Canada from Elfershausen, Hanover(Germany) in 1832. In particular, it traces the descendents of his two sons, Henry and August.

The descendents of these two sons settled, for the most part, in Western Perth County and Eastern Huron County. Hundreds of descendents are still in the municipalities of these two counties today.

I am the great-great-grandson of August Fischer.

There are trees included for spouses of some descendents. I have information on many more branches of the family than what is represented here. If you have a query about someone you don't see here, send me a note. Chances are I may have information on them.

This research is ongoing. I welcome comments, corrections and new information. Contact me directly using my email address below. A response will be sent quickly to acknowledge your contribution.
