The Study of Onomastics and Heraldry

All names had to have a beginning.
Before 1,000 A.D. last names or
surnames were not generally used.
Most people used tribal names
and the need for a last name was
not very important. As the population increased away of keeping a cenus began to emerge.

Having access to hundreds of these old documents enables us to extract very valuable information about thousands of surnames. While we have very valuable information that those working on a Family Tree can use and do on a daily basis, we do not offer genelogy information on your particular family, rather we do provide information on the Family Name, Coat of Arms and Crests.
