Viselpedia is a collection of genealogical information on the Visel Family who are descended from Daniel Visel (b 1824) in Rottenburg, which is located in the Baden-Wurttemberg region of Germany, with pictures and biographical information. The original site was established by Patrick Visel, last updated around 2010. The new site will continue to be a work in progress and will be updated as pages are completed.
I would love your input, updates on any history, family, friends, relatives. We can start a new Visel mailing list if you wish to be updated, pictures, bio's, current projects? Books written? Stories? Let me know.
Join the mailing list. No spam, just monthly updates on what has been added.
Keep in mind this is a work in progress, there may be errors, feel free to let me know when/if you see any. Thanks!

" Still Under Discovery "
Found in Heraldrys Institute of Rome
"Ekkebreth Visel 1135 Cologne Flat painter Ekkebreth 1159 Rottweil factor Chrannest 1508 Tennvil Univ. Rector Place name Vissel (Rhineland). Visel Since the end of the 13th century, from Charles IV (1346-1378), the emperors have awarded coats of arms without elevating the beneficiaries to the nobility. In the 15th century, they entrusted the Count Palatine with the awarding of coats of arms, who since then has also granted coats of arms to bourgeois families."
This coincides with Patrick Visel's findings in there were possibly two different spellings of the name. "V" is rarely used in German, whereas a "w" is pronounced as "v" or "f".
In doing a search under German Coat of arms, the Vissel History and coat of arms can be found here, however, it notes that the Vissel name was first recorded in Amsterdam, and first mentioned in the charters of 1275 when Floris IV, the count of Holland, granted its charter.
