Heraldry - Coat of arms
Welcome! I would like to give you a preview about Heraldry and bearing coat of arms.
I´ve heard that there is a confusion among the general public about the status of heraldry in the United states. Here is something about the old art (ars heraldica) from a traditional german heraldist. May be something interesting, if you´ve got german ancestors.
First of all:
Definition
A coat of arms is a set of pictures of patterns painted on a shield with a helmet, mantling, wreath and crest as aspecial sign for family, town, university, state ect.!
It may be a symbol for your family, family history and your origin!
