Genealogy is like a puzzle - you have to fit all the pieces together before you see the whole picture.
A one name study involves data collection, analysis, synthesis, publicising the study, responding to inquiries, publication of the results and preserving the study.

I want to acknowledge those who have perpetuated the name and in this pursuit would very much like to connect the Nation individuals to their respective families. 
Any information you can give to achieve that end would be greatly appreciated.
If you find an error please do not let it be perpetuated, a quick comment would be helpful.


NATION STUDY is solely for people with the unusual surname of 'Nation or Nations' (and their spouse only).  Countries of birth include the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Jamaica, France, Germany, Switzerland and Peru.



1851 UK CENSUS (2% Sample Only)
To emphasize my belief in freedom of information; and for the benefit of others, I have included in my genealogy pages a searchable database by surname and household of a 2% sample of the 1851 United Kingdom Census comprising of over 425,000 individuals. (Ireland excluded)
I have no relationship with anyone listed therein - it is not part of my research - I just like to share.

If you find someone, click the spyglass icon in their record to find other individuals with the same location.


MY FAMILY    This database is obviously about my personal family.  I hope you enjoy the many facts, bits of information and the pictures on the website.  We are Australians who originated in England (my dad's grandfather) & Scotland (my mother). I now reside in the United States.
