About New England Heraldry

New England Heraldry is a highly trusted name and widely sought out resource
for surname histories and coats of arms on the internet. New England Heraldry is a licensee of the Swyrich Corporation of Ontario, Canada. Swyrich is the largest and most established company doing surname research in the world today. The research on our surname histories has been conducted by professional historians at Swyrich and its affiliates since 1968 making our surname and coat of arms database the oldest and most trusted of its kind currently available to the general public. Swyrich is the offspring of the company International Coat of Arms which was founded in 1968, and Hall of Names, Inc. which was established in Toronto, Canada in 1971.

These companies grew and prospered until 1996 when the laborious task of recording
our giant list of over several hundred thousand names was undertaken by the company's founders to create a graphical database of quality coats of arms and historically accurate surname histories which could be quickly referenced via a unique proprietary software program. This singular development would allow Swyrich and its franchisees to offer you coats of arms and surname histories over the internet, as well as at many other locations throughout the world which formerly did not have access to our one of a kind research.

This evolution in the coats of arms and surname histories business model was
revolutionary and has been a great boon to hundreds of thousands of people researching their surnames on the internet today. Because of these very important developments in our industry, we are able to now offer you a database of over 1,000,000 extremely high quality coats of arms and historically accurate surname histories which you can search in our online database from the comfort of your very own home.

Every year our surname and coats of arms database grows exponentially as new
names are researched and added. Over the past several years, we have been excited to begin offering surname histories and coats of arms from many new countries including China, Hungary, Russia, Poland, as well as well as many others. New England Heraldry will continue to be an important resource for surname research well into the future as many more countries and names are researched, and as our company continues to grow with strategic partnerships with sub-licensees in the United States, Canada, the U.K., Asia, Australia and beyond.

Our founding companies were the very first of their kind in existence which offered families information about their unique surname history and related coat of arms. Since those early days the research on surnames has continued right up to the present, making New England Heraldry and its friend’s part of a tradition of over 35 years of history. Our website which continues to grow in popularity, receives thousands of visitors just like you each month who are searching for information about their unique family surname history or coat of arms.

Our Philosophy

New England Heraldry is firmly committed to bringing our customers and partners the highest quality surname histories and coats of arms available anywhere. Our philosophy is based on our belief that learning about your family's history and surname's origins is one of the most important, exciting, and rewarding journeys as you can undertake as an individual.

We believe that learning something about the origins of surnames is an exciting and important adventure which is of interest to everyone. We are all descended from many individuals who have carried our surnames in the past, and sometimes for hundreds of
years. Who were these people? Where did they come from? What did they do for a
living? What were they like? Are we somehow related to them? There are so many questions that we all have about our origins, and it seems that as we answer these and
other questions we always want to know even more!

The people who shared our surnames in the past may have been our cousins and
ancestors. These people were the shapers of our long history and culture. Even today we can feel our ancestors' influence as everyone currently living is the unique progeny of their ancient ancestors. We are all descended from ancient sources. Where do these pathways into our past lead? It is only through a desire and willingness to explore our origins that these questions can be answered.

At New England Heraldry, we believe that the products we sell make a unique contribution to your quest to discover more about your family's origins. We are convinced that our products are helpful in linking us all with our unique history through the fine art of heraldry and through the discovery of your names' origins in our well-researched and highly regarded surname histories. We hope you will choose The New England Heraldry’s products as treasured keepsakes which will be proudly displayed by your family for many generations to come.
