Apparently a Nicely/Nussli/Nissley coat of arms exists (ref: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/KNISLEY/1997-01/0853425039):
"Associable facts and events disclose that said Jacob Nussli (Nissley) was a son of Martin Nussli (Nissley) who founded the Nissley coat-of-arms in 1628 when the Protestants fought the Roman Catholics, 1618-1648, (The 30 Years War).
In prospect the said Jacob Nussli (Nissley) was the father of Ulrich Nussli (Missley) born 1639 at Conton of Zurich. Ulrich with others fled from the confirms of Zurich, about 1659, to Canton of Berne and subsequently emigrated to the Palatinates of Germany in 1701 with his wife and three children. From the Palatinates he again emigrated in 1717 for Lancaster County, Pa. with his wife and two sons, Jacob and John. During their hazardous sea voyage, Ulrich, the father being quite old died at sea and was put overboard."
"Among the treasured ancient and medieval discs exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, is the Nussli Armorial disc. This disc is made of artistic stained glass and displays the Nussli (Nissley) coat-of-arms, which is dated 1628. It bears the coat-of-arms of Martin Nussli, a Butcher at Kalthrunn, located in Canton of Zurich , Switzerland. The work of the artist includes the picture of Martin Nussli, his wife and their son and daughter. All wearing 17th centruy Swiss apparel, viz:-long cloaks and ruffled collars, with the exception of their son, who is wearing a ruffled collar and a doublet (close body-fitting outer garment and short skirt.) An account taken from Swiss record states that the disc was presented to Martin Nussli as an award for his champion marksmanship at a shooting contest."
However, when I search the internet for "Nussli crest" or "Nussli coat of arms" I can't find any images of it. I see lots of offerings from companies specializing in Irish/British/Scottish coats of arms, but those are suspect.
Can anyone direct me to this Coat of Arms and/or the Armorial disc? Thanks much!
