Coats of arms fraud warned by genealogists in New York
New York AP reports British expert Brian Brooks of the Association of Genealogists and Record Agents warns many Americans lack rightful arms. He notes only a fraction are actually descended in the male line from knights whose crests they display. In Scotland misrepresentation can bring jail. Brooks traces ancestry and charges up to 150 dollars for backtracking. He says common English names often defy easy tracing, while unusual names yield quicker results.
