Coat of Arms Research

Doing coat of arms research? "Heraldry" is the study or art of tracing genealogies, determining, designing and granting coats of arms, and ruling on questions of rank or protocol. During the time of the Knights in Armor, a basic problem of identification arose. Wearing a full suit of armor one was unable to tell one knight from another, so each armored man wore a distinctive 'coat', by which he could then be recognized. This was known as his 'coat of arms' as it was worn directly over his armor.

A coat of arms thus reflects more individual identity on a direct lineage from the ancestor, as opposed to family identity.
