Our Association
The Nims Family Association is an organization of descendants of Godfrey Nims of Deerfield, Massachusetts.
The purposes of the association are to collect, maintain, and distribute genealogical and historical data pertaining to descendants of Godfrey Nims; to preserve and display artifacts of the family; and to promote other activities relevant to the Nims family and historic Deerfield.
We actively seek contact with all descendants of Godfrey Nims through four of his children who survived to adulthood: John; Ebenezer; Thankful Nims Munn; and Abigail Nims Rising.
Our goal now is to continue publishing records in the files of the association and we are continuing the process of inputting data from the four family branches.
All descendants of Godfrey Nims are encouraged to participate in the Nims Family Association and in the gathering of data and artifacts. If you are interested in joining the nearly four hundred families who are already association members, click HERE for further membership information. Dues are $15 per family annually. We welcome your participation and support.
The association is registered in Massachusetts as a non-profit, domestic corporation. Membership in the Nims Family Association is open to any person descended from, or married to, anyone of the surname Nims.
