How To Trace Your Coat Of Arms

How do I trace my Coat of Arms?

If you want to find out whether or not your own family is entitled to a particular Coat of Arms, the first thing to do would be to ask around your family members, and look in your houses to see whether you've got any objects with a Coat of Arms on them. Then you need to have some idea of the history of your family: where do they come from, and what sort of people were they? When you've got these pieces of information, you can write to the College of Arms, we have an enquiry service, and see whether any information about your ancestors is on record in the official registries of the College of Arms.
