All members of the family with the spelling, Zersen, are descended from our ancestor Cord (Curdt) Zersen (Zeerssen), born 1623 in Hamelspringe, Germany. There are less than 150 people with this surname worldwide today. Naturally, there are larger numbers of relatives who as a result of marriage no longer bear the surname Zersen. Some family members in Germany have used the spelling Zerssen. Others with no direct family ties in recent history are members of the family von Zerssen. All of them have ancestral roots in the village of Zersen, south of Hanover, which is over 1,000 years old. This website is a work in progress and seeks to provide information and to help all of us to get to know one another better.
