It's been ages since I've posted here! Sorry, sorry, sorry, friends of NYC Heraldry. I promise you some exciting new posts in 2013! Too many blogs, too little time, but I will be back very soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the going out of 2012 and the coming in of the new year.
Yours in heraldry,
Maria

Hi Maria.
ReplyDeleteWould it surprise you if I told you that of all the types of books our writers are asked to write, biographies are the most frequent requests? These are typically autobiographies or biographies of a parent (trying to capture their history while they are still alive).
There is a chart that might interest your readers at http://www.seo-writer.com/freelance/ghost-writer.html .
I hope you find this interesting.

I'm glad that there's a blog like this for NYC. I'm in the process of designing my own armorial and having some fun. As I have no affiliation with royalty (and as an American, I'm glad about that) or any enterprise that grants me arms, I'll just make my own. In investigating symbols for where I and my ancestors are from, I wonder if Dutch pioneers of New Netherlands used municipal arms for towns. If there were municipal arms, were these used on the personal armorials of the colonists? In fact, I wonder if it was common practice at all to use the symbols for places in one's personal coat-of-arms.
