Statement
Guaranteed Authentic Research
You will not find a more trusted heraldic
organization on the Internet. We have access to
the largest global heraldic database, historical
records, manuscripts and the world's top research
analysts.*
Our historical analysts perform their duties from records
in the Old Country as well as from the US. Every Coat
of Arms we provide is supported by detailed, meticulous
analysis of the name's origin, in some cases dating back
to the 10th Century. We call this detailed analysis
the Family Name History, which is an elaborate way to say:
Here's why we Guarantee Authenticity. Every Family
Name History has a written description of the Coat of Arms,
the Crest and Motto if available. We will not make
up a Coat of Arms that is not supported by this fundamental
research. Every Family Name History comes with a Certificate
of Authenticity. Note: Family Name Histories
are not personal genealogies.
*See Research and Translations
Link on left sidebar for details.
Important Note:
We research each Coat of Arms and Name History from a
recognized reference source but it should be clearly understood
that no direct genealogical connection is intended or implied.
Arms have been granted over the last centuries to countless
thousands of individuals including possibly someone of your
surname. Clearly you would not use such a Coat of
Arms, but there is no legal injunction against hanging up
any armorial bearings for display only, for which purpose
they are superbly fitted.
The Law of Arms:
The Chief Herald, Dublin, Ireland, The Officer in Waiting
(College of Arms), London, and the Lord Lyon King of Arms,
Scotland, along with other Heraldic Colleges point out that
the hand-painted Coat of Arms that we provide or mentioned
have been granted to a person with the same family name
or a variant. We encourage you to display the Coat
of Arms with family pride as a work of art; hand-painted
by a heraldic artist. In certain countries, laws of
Heraldry are still enforced. If you intend to display
these Arms in public, please check with the appropriate
governing bodies.
Pricing Policy
Because we want your business, we will meet or beat any

Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy. All information that you provide
to us is confidential. We will not share, loan, sell, or
give any of your personal information to anybody.
