WELCOME TO HERALDRY-ONLINE

New Additions:
This site has two primary aims;

1) To provide a vehicle to display the results of my research into various heraldic families and/or places.
2) To provide links to external sites that cover similar research.

With regard to heraldic families, my goal is to list only those Arms that can be associated with a named individual(s) or "House". My method is to accept those Arms listed in official sources as stated. Any possible errors in transcription are noted. I have also accepted Fox-Davies' Armorial Families as accurate and where possible have corroborated the details contained therein with reference to other sources. With regard to Burke's General Armory, I have only included those Arms with a named individual or "House" not listed elsewhere. Ideally these are also corroborated by entries listed in the Harleian Society's Grantees of Arms. (The Grantees of Arms does not include the blazon but does generally list the Armiger's name and place of residence.) When it comes to the heraldry associated with certain places, I have recorded the Arms "as is" and attempted to blazon the Arms as seen. Where possible I will match the Arms to those recorded either officially or unofficially.

I cannot claim that the result for any family or place is truly finished because heraldry is dynamic and my research resources, themselves, may well be incomplete. With the exception of the research for Plowman & Plewman, the blazon for Sir David Tweedie and the post 1973 Fraser entries, all other blazons listed are in the public domain.
