Heraldry for Family Historians

This day school is to be held at the Institute on Saturday 14th November and will introduce the subject of heraldry. Many genealogists and family historians turn aside from heraldry with the misconception that it is not for them but rather some medieval mystery. This course aims to show that the records of heraldry can be of great use to family historians. As well as notes of evidence for pedigrees, the records also include details of seals, monuments, church windows, banners and brasses which can greatly aid genealogical research.
