Topic: Summer Series: Pt 2 – Heraldry. Join Phyllis as she shares heraldic images and stories from English and Scottish Medieval times to present about coats of arms, shields, crests, and more! Instructions on how to interpret the images and how to blazon (describe) them will be provided. Many links to sources and pedigrees with the family heraldry features will be shared. The Summer Series can be attended independently of each other. See the Events Calendar for each topic. Genealogy & Java sessions include the presentation / instruction and an emailed handout to use at home.
