The Scherschel family welcomes you to our dynastic website. As a global collective sharing mutual ancestral ties, we thank you for taking an interest in our storied lineage. Our family’s ancestral roots trace back to north-central Germany nearly 900 years ago during the Late Medieval era. It was here that a descendant line grew through the centuries and eventually connected two continents. Since the migration of our ancestors from Europe to North America in the early 19th Century, the family has preserved ties between the two continents. With our singularly identifiable surname and curated archives, our family holds the unique distinction in North America of accounting for every biological descendant in one organizational structure. Similarly, our European cousins trace their lineage to the same ancestral line and can evidence their notable history through the many epochs of central Europe.

Scherschel Legacy serves as the nexus connecting direct descendants across the globe into one unified collaboration. Its interest is to preserve and promote our family’s traditions, values, culture and continuity. Here, family members may use the genealogical archives as a universal resource to explore, contribute to and preserve Scherschel records for posterity. We also invite the public and media to inquire about our enduring narrative. Many Scherschel family members have been benefactors to noteworthy causes through the generations. We are proud to share with you the contributions our family has made to advance progress and better our world.
