Invitation to membership
The Nesbitt/Nisbet Society is made up of those descended from, married to, or simply interested in this ancient Scottish family and its numerous overseas branches. Membership is open to all who support the aims of the Society. It aims to promote kinship between members, particularly through its gatherings, and to assist and encourage historical and genealogical research, particularly through its newsletter and its publications. The Society also supports relevant causes, such as the restoration of the tomb of Frances Nisbet, wife of Admiral Nelson, and the restoration of Gunsgreen House, Eyemouth, a fine Adam mansion built for John Nisbet.
Membership of the British Isles branch
New members are always welcome: the only qualification is some interest in Nesbitt/Nisbets! An active interest in genealogy is certainly not necessary, but the worldwide links of the Society can be very helpful to those researching family history. Annual membership of the UK branch entitles you to:
Geographical coverage
In general, residents of the British Isles, Continental Europe and Australasia tend to join the UK branch - but we are open to all!

Current annual subscriptions (which cover a family at one address):
United Kingdom - Print or email (PDF) newsletter £12.00
