Nissen Family Crest

Hello, Welcome to the Nissen Surname Study. The purpose of the Nissen One-Name-Study project is to provide a central and open access place in Wikitree for members who wish to collaborate in researching the Surname Nissen regardless of where those Nissen’s were born or in what era they lived. For the time being this study is focused only on the Nissen surname itself and others with these various similar surnames may join us if they wish or begin their own Name Study. If you would like to join the Study please contact the project leader Andrew Simpier or post a comment to the right. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks!
