Does Heraldry & Crests carry out Genealogy research?
A. No, the practice of researching the origins of family names is called ONOMASTICS whereas GENEALOGY is research into the origins or ancestry your own family. HOWEVER the outline of the history of the origin of your family name is often a good place to begin research of your genealogy in that it may offer useful pointers to the country or locality in which the name was originally found in addition to other useful information, such as bearers of the name and migration information.
