Fillinges (French pronunciation: [filɛ̃ʒ]) is a Commune in Haute-Savoie, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.

The population, having experienced few majors migrations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Fillinges is an inexhaustible reservoir for genealogists around the world.

The Berthet, Ducret, Gavard and many other families find their origins, often with nicknames related to the specific place of residence or the activity of their ancestor: farrier, roadmender, clog maker, armourer, shoemaker, baker etc.

[citation needed] Between 1780 and 1837, Fillinges is part of the province of Carouge, which belongs to the States of Savoie.

[citation needed] The First World War decimated the male population often requiring widows and orphans to leave the town to get closer to cities (domestic work).
