    Hi there, thank you for sharing your research publicly. I found this randomly online when looking up details about my family. I’m directly descended and my last name is still Wiseman. I grew up in Scotland and my father was even born and raised in Nairn/Forres – we didn’t go far! Always fun to find distant cousins. Hope you and your family are well. Cheers, SW

    This appears to show the development of the Wiseman surname in Moray, Scotland as separate from the English Wisemans
