Virginia Heraldica

Description (from source site)
Granted by heads of state, right to possess a family insignia was once among the most closely guarded rights of Western society. Originally published in 1908, this database is a registry of Virginia families that were allowed a coat of arms. Each record provides the family name, county of residence, and detailed notes regarding the heraldic device. Perhaps more importantly, each record contains helpful genealogical notes regarding the family, including important ancestors and from where the family immigrated. For Ancestry.com patrons seeking ancestors from Virginia, this can be a key source of information.
