​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) was founded in 1983 and has a membership of over 100 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 North America and Australasia branches.

Website relaunches

The Society launched its first website in 1995, and has been at this domain name since 2004 (see above). In May 2016 we moved content to a new platform that makes it easier to add new material, and which is mobile-friendly. There is lots of new content - please explore!
