Take a look here: http://www.familysearch.org/ go to "search", and plug "Nixon" into the last name field. You might want to do this with exact spelling turned on. > Do we have a crest or emblem or something Short answer: Families, with very very few exceptions (like the Windsor's of England I believe) don't have family crests, although there are scammers who have been selling them for probably centuries. Welcome to the group - it's usually pretty friendly, and we try to be helpful. The Nixon surname should be fairly easy to research, as it's not terribly common (Miller, for instance, is almost impossible to find the right family). Also, if you know you're related to Richard M., I'd be surprised if his tree isn't online somewhere. Hope this helps, Dave Hinz
