Heraldry in the United States (not just Florida)

Heraldry in the United States

Commercial firms that purport to research and identify coats of arms for surnames or family names — and sell depictions thereof under the guise of a "family crest" — are engaged in fraudulent and deceptive marketing. The consumer's best defense is a proper knowledge of the laws of heraldry.

Yes, I know this isn't just Florida - but the information and warning at the link are worthwhile.

Why Another Site?

Simple. I am constantly receiving requests to add a link, or a referenence or a genealogist to my own genealogy web sites. Rather than check every request, I have decided to add them here and let you be the judge.

Please tell us if a resource, genealogist or URL has been helpful to you and let us know when you run into problems. Use grades to evaluate:
A = Excellent
B = Very Good
C = Average
D = Poor
F = Absolutely Awful
Use plus (+) and minus (-) if necessary to fine tune the grades. Feel free to add detailed comments or just use a grade.

Anything genealogical may be posted for your review. I look forward to your input.
