What will a Coat of Arms tell me?

Peter O'Donoghue (Bluemantle Pursuivant ) gives expert video advice on: What is a Coat of Arms?; Can anyone have a Coat of arms?; Where would they come from? and more...

A Coat of Arms can tell you firstly who owned an object. If an object has a Coat of Arms on it then that's an indication of ownership and secondly they can tell you a lot of genealogy. Because the Coat of Arms pass on the male line, they are brilliant indicators of ancestry. And they can be used as science of ancestry.
