Thank you for selecting the The Neisz Family of Virginia web site. New information has been added and will continue to be added. Also, a new page for Memorials is now available. Please view this page and take time to remember one of our family members who is no longer with us. I would be greatful if you would forward a story and picture attachment of a family member so we may never forget them. Our first Memorial will be for a fallen hero of the Viet Nam war.

Two sisters-Minnie Louise Neisz and Ida May Neisz married the same man William H. Wyatt Jr. A family story my mother handed down claims that this Wyatt family had kinship to a Wyatt that was once Governor of Virginia. This would have been Sir Francis Wyatt of the early 1600's. Some marginial proof of this exists but not enough to claim kinship. Any info in this area would be appreciated.
