About this webinar

Heraldry invokes images of noble ancestors from long ago, dashing knights and splendor but what is it really? In this presentation learn the basics of heraldry, its historical uses, who can display heraldic arms (as well as why many genealogists shouldn't) and how it can help your research. Focus will be on English heraldry with other nationalities used for comparison.
