In order to aid the Finding Godfrey research currently being conducted by Rob del Re and his team of researchers, NFA President David Nims recently took a Y-700 DNA test from FamilyTree dot com.

Nims Family who attended the 2024 Deerfield Reunion may remember the Nims cradle displayed at the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, Deerfield, MA. [Link] Ray Radigan, the Assistant Dir. and Curator of the Deerfield Hall Museum, included it on the tour of the Museum. Ebenezer descendant, Scott Maxwell, reached out about the Nims-Maxwell branch of the family’s own crib. He agreed to write about their Nims treasures and his own current family history research.

Rob Brun del Re's research into Godfrey Nims and Godfrey's ancestors is bearing fruit.
