Dec 02 Genealogy Site - Heraldic Terms
 | This Glossary of Heraldic Terms helps you understand what heraldry and coats of arms were all about, and how to understand the descriptions used. |
A coat of arms was a visual item, but in order to properly record it, it had to be described in words. This site helps you make sense of the various terms used, and what the history behind coats of arms was.
It even gives meanings behind the various animals, objects and colors commonly found on a coat of arms. If you've been looking into your family coat of arms, be sure to swing by this site!
