About this event


Kathie Ross
ATTENDANCE IS EITHER VIA ZOOM OR IN PERSON - SELECT DURING REGISTRATION.

Heraldry can be more than just coats of arms on a shield—it can be a valuable tool in genealogical research.  In this presentation, Kathie will introduce the basics of heraldry and explain its uses in genealogy. Learn how heraldic devices can provide clues to family connections. Real-world examples will show how heraldry has helped solve genealogical puzzles and uncover new lines of inquiry. If you’ve never used heraldry for your genealogical research, this session will offer practical insights and resources to get you started.

Kathie Ross, PhD, QG
,  has a post-graduate diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde.  Kathie loves to solve genealogical puzzles. She particularly likes reading old handwriting and using old coats of arms to find clues. Kathie has been instructing both online and in-person for almost three decades and loves to help people be successful at their own research.   Based in Victoria, British Columbia, her research includes Canada, the United States, Norway, Sweden, England, Scotland and Ireland - all areas where her family genealogical research has taken her.
