== History == 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. (Labori, Socqui etc.). At that time, marriages were often "arranged" in between families and took place nearly all the time between inhabitants of the municipality or hamlets in the vicinity (Arpigny, Marcellaz, Viuz, La Tour, Bonne, Mijouet, Loëx, etc.).
