“He who has no feelings of veneration for his predecessors should expect none from those who follow him.”
NFA Founder, William Emery Nickerson
“Endowing the Future: Exciting Times!”
Since our founding in 1897, the Nickerson Family Association has been researching the genealogy of the descendants of William and Anne Nickerson. Nearly 130 years later, we have six published volumes of genealogy to our credit. (Our most recent book, Part 5: Samuel, won a prestigious award from the Connecticut Society of Genealogists in 2025.) We also maintain a thriving campus adjacent to William and Anne’s ca. 1664 homestead.
To help our genealogical work continue into the future, and to keep our campus strong, an Endowment Fund has been established. Won’t you consider providing for the NFA by including a bequest or memorial contribution in your estate plans? Your support will help us to fulfill our mission of telling our story through genealogy, an archaeological site, buildings and objects so that future generations may understand and appreciate our shared family.
Please support the NFA’s important work in any way you can!
