Thanks for your post -- our Bisset lines may be connected together somehow back in time.I am hoping to take my line back further and discover what connection, if any, there is to William Bisset of Lessendrum in the 1700's -- a copy of his Bisset crest has been passed down in my family from at least as far back as my great grandfather Peter Bisset who was born in Fife in 1869 and who later settled in America, where he had a life-long career as a horticulturalist (including work on Twin Oaks, the estate of the Hubbards, in-laws to Alexander Graham Bell).The crest of William Bisset of Lessendrum is an Oak tree trunk sprouting new growth, with the Latin motto: Iterum Virescit, which in English, means: To Grow Green Again. When you learn more about your William Bisset's lineage in Fife, please email me: [email protected] or write me: Selena Fox, Box 219, Mt. Horeb, WI 53572 USA.Thanks much!
