An Index to the Pedigrees and Arms Contained in the Heralds&apos; Visitations and Other Genealogical Manuscripts in the British Museum. Richard Sims . (1849)<br><p>The Heralds&apos; Visitations were compiled by a Commission under the Privy Seal issued to the two provincial Kings-of-Arms.<br><br> The arms were recorded with the descents, marriages, and issue, and, hence, the Visitations contain the pedigrees of the landed proprietors of the time entitled to bear arms. Since the Heralds&apos; Visitations are unindexed, Mr. Sims set about, in this work, to index all the names of persons having pedigrees and coats of arms in the principal manuscripts in the British Museum. The arrangement is alphabetical by county and thereunder alphabetical by surname, with persons of the same surname being distinguished from each other by reference to place of residence. References are given after each name to the exact number of the manuscript wherein the pedigrees and coats of arms are contained.</p><BR>Genealogical.com publishes genealogy books and CDs.
