According to church documents of the Reformed St. Petri Church, he married Anna Mercator (Kramer) on May 9, 1650 in Danzig. His brother Hans Falck was Messerschmidt in Danzig and is documented as a witness to the birth of a child from Jeremias and Anna. According to the great-great-grandson Herrmann Eugen Falk in a book by JC Block in 1890, there were no exact documents of the place of birth or the year.
Falck then worked abroad again, in Sweden as the court engraver of Queen Christine of Sweden , in Denmark, also in the Netherlands (including a portrait of Willem Blaeu ) and 1655–64 in Hamburg , where he published 16 copper engravings with botanical motifs (1662).

Falck SRM Sueciae when he was employed in Sweden. Georg Forster used Falck's copper plates to print the illustrations for the “Selenography” by Johannes Hevelius and the “Orationes” by Georg Ossolinski , SRI Prinz. The portraits of Wladislaw IV and Polish bishops are inscribed on the edge of the rectangle under the oval copper plate portraits with J. Falck Polonus on the left and Georg Förster on the right.
