​The Nesbitt/Nisbet Society aims to assist genealogical research into Nesbitt/Nisbet families (whatever the spelling), to identify and preserve Nesbitt/Nisbet heritage, and to encourage communication and social gathering among all with Nesbitt/Nisbet interests. 

​The British Isles branch (with a membership spanning much of Europe and to Australasia) was founded in 1983 and has a membership of over 80 families. It organises regular gatherings, produces a regular newsletter, and publishes a wide range of books.  Please browse our website and consider membership, which brings access to our newsletter and online back-issues, meetings and genealogical advice, as well as publications that are not online.

We work closely with the Nesbitt/Nisbet Society of North America.
