I have a family history Q.?
I have a very old pic of my families coat of arms and want to know what some the symbols mean I have been to ancestry.com and house of names but none have or will let me look at pics and tell me what they mean. can anyone help or give me a phone number or any help at all?
Ancestry.com will have no info concerning coats of arms, for the simple reason that they KNOW it is not a valid part of genealogy. Houseofnames is fairly well known with the regulars here, for just the opposite.. they know it isn’t, but they want to sell you something that is a basic rip off.
Coats of arms DO NOT belong to “families”. Shirley will stop by here in a few and give the link to the College of Arms in the UK, which explains the authorized standard. These were issued to INDIVIDUAL PERSONS, and only go to the direct heir.
There are decent sources on the topic of heraldry, and the one you mention is most likely included somewhere. I just wanted to advise you that the use (as people in America want to think) is not as they were legally intended in the UK.

Ancestry and Health $100.37 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Racial and ethnic groups can exhibit substantial average differences in disease incidence, disease severity, disease progression, and response to treatment. In the United States, African Americans have higher rates of mortality than does any other racial or ethnic group for 8 of the top 10 causes of death. U.S. Latinos have higher rates of death from diabetes, liver disease, and infectious diseases than do nonLatinos. Native Americans suffer from higher rates of diabetes, tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, and alcoholism than does the rest of the U.S. population. For the monogenic diseases, the frequency of causative alleles usually correlates best with ancestry, whether familial, ethnic, or geographical. To the extent that ancestry corresponds with racial or ethnic groups or subgroups, the incidence of monogenic diseases can differ between groups categorized by race or ethnicity, and healthcare professionals typically take these patterns into account in making diagnoses.

Rule of 1/1000th Common Ancestry $79.66 PMHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Rule of 1/1000 common ancestry is a criterion used to create meaningful family groupings. It was first adopted by Lawrence Kestenbaum to determine which individuals should be included with specific political families on the Political Graveyard website. The rule can be made applicable to other genealogy projects. For lineal ancestors, this can be approximated by 10th degree consanguinity. The reason this is approximate, and not exact, is that common ancestry is halved every time the degree of consanguinity is increased by one. For example the degree of consanguinity of a parent is one. This means that a parent provides 1/2 1 or 1/2 of a persons ancestry (the other parent provides the other half). A 7th great grandparent has a 9th degree consanguinity, and therefore providing 1/2 9 or 1/512 common ancestry. An 8th great grandparent provides 1/1024 common ancestry which is as close as one can come to 1/1000th, and so this is the cutoff use Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Eurasian (Mixed Ancestry) $60.54 The word Eurasian refers to people of mixed Asian and European ancestry. It was originally coined in 19th century British India to refer to AngloIndians of mixed British and Indian descent. The term has seen some use in anthropological literature from the 1960s. Many Eurasian ethnic groups arose during colonial occupation of Asian regions by European states and private corporations, that started with the great wave of European naval expansion and exploration in the 16th century and continues to the present. The main European colonial powers were Spain and Portugal in the 16th century, followed by the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France from the 17th century onwards. The term Eurasian was first coined in British India in 1844. The term was originally used to refer to what are now known as AngloIndians, people of mixed British and Indian descent. In many regions, Eurasians tended to marry and socialize mostly among themselves thus forming a separate social and economic class, which eventually became a distinctive ethnic group.
