American Armigers

[LKM]

I have also considered registering heraldry on some of these sites. I like how these registries are easy to search, yet as there is no restriction on heraldry in the US and these sites are ran by independent groups or individual people I do not see much need to have it registered. As my family came from Wales to the Americas before the official UK listings had many Welsh families listed it adds another layer of issues with many of these registries. Of course, my family was nonconformist and did not go to London and pay England to list the heraldry. That was something most, yet not all, of the Welsh had to do if they wanted their heraldry to be officially recognized in the UK before the 18th century.

I will have to check out the Society of American Armigers sometime. I hope they are willing to accept marshaling on historic arms without "official" documentation. Below is what would be listed for an ancestor if it was in the official lists in the UK.


P.S.: Nice looking arms David. The arms clearly looks like a variation of the arms passed down through one of the Pope families from Scotland.
