Bissett, Manitoba
Bissett is a community situated on Rice Lake in the southeastern region of Manitoba, Canada, classified as a northern community and designated place. Located two and a half hours northeast of Winnipeg on Provincial Road 304, Bissett is an entry point to Nopiming Provincial Park. The discovery of gold in the community in 1911 made the region the cradle of gold mining in Manitoba.https://www.manitoba.ca/iem/info/libmin/gold_in_bissett.pdf This was a steady industry for many years until closure of the mine in 1983. Mining executive John Draper Perrin helped finance the development of the town. Today, Bissett is home to the True North Gold Mine (also called the Rice Lake Gold Mine), San Antonio Gold Mine, Wynne Drilling Corporation, Northern Wings Bed and Breakfast, and the San Antonio Hotel. The township also hosts the base of operations for the Boy Scouts of America Northern Tier High Adventure Base, which operates canoeing expeditions in the nearby Atikaki Provincial Wi ...

Bissett (surname)
Bissett is a surname that can be attributed to two or three origins. At the moment, it's somewhat more commonly Irish, descending from the Bissett family, who arrived in what is now County Antrim in Ulster in the mid-thirteenth century from Scotland. Many of the family remained in Scotland, but their descendants more commonly spelled their surname Bisset without doubling the final -t-, although this may have become much more common in the last two centuries. In any case, all share a common origin, and a considerable degree of movement between Ulster and Scotland has been witnessed throughout recorded history. A lineage might belong to one, then the other, and back again. A third possible origin for the surname in North America is as an "anglicization" of the French or French Canadian surname Bessette. * Alan Bissett, Scottish author * Bill Bissett (born 1939), Canadian poet * Cora Bissett, Scottish actor, director and musician * Cynthia Bissett (born 1954), American philanthropis ...

Clan Bissett
Clan Bissett (''Bisey, Byset, Bisset or Bissert'') is a Scottish clan. The clan is recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms but does not have a clan chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, therefore the clan has no standing under Scots Law.Way, George and Squire, Romily. (1994). ''Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia''. (Foreword by The Rt Hon. The Earl of Elgin KT, Convenor, The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs). pp. 362. Clan Bissett is considered an armigerous clan, meaning that it is considered to have had at one time a chief who possessed the chiefly arms; however, no one at present is in possession of such arms. The surname Bissett is also considered a sept of the Clan Fraser of Lovat. History Origins of the clan The surname Bisset is believed to be of Norman origin and was brought to Scotland when William the Lion returned from captivity in England, accompanied by the Biseys. The Bysets settled in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in England. They appear w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bissett Family (Ireland)
The history of the Bissett family in Ireland can be studied independently from that of the originally identical family in Scotland, because of their unique experience following their arrival in Ulster in the early or mid-13th century. Here, while still remaining involved in Scottish affairs, the Bissetts would establish themselves as the Lords of the Glens of Antrim and quickly become equally, then eventually more involved in the politics of the Irish province, becoming among the most Gaelicised of all the so-called Anglo-Norman families in Ireland. The heads of the leading branch of the family soon adopted the Gaelic lineage style Mac Eoin Bissett (of the Glens), by which they are known in the Irish annals, and which translates as "Son/Descendant of John Byset", after a prominent ancestor born in Scotland. In a number of English and Anglo-Norman sources the same head of the family is referred to as the Baron Bissett, also with variants. This family style or title eventu ...
