Find Your Noble Ancestors!
Are you interested in genealogy and family search? Would you like to find out if you belong to an ancient noble family? 3 years ago I started doing serious research about my family, and came all the way back to the founder of our family who was made a Marquis in the year 1141. In the process I have
collected more than 2000 pages of documentation and made
friends all over the world! In this brief article I would like to tell you about some of the most important things to remember when you are looking for possible noble ancestors.
First of all, you need to collect and systematize the knowledge you already have. This means to search written
material already available, interviewing family members and

you can find sites specialized in the nobility of specific countries, and they will provide you with lots of valuable information.
You will also want to search libraries for books related to your family search, and from many libraries you can buy photocopies from the books you need. In some cases you will want to own a specific book related to your family history, and you will need to search antiquarian book shops.
Several Internet sites have specialized in heraldry, and at one site you can search among the coat of arms of more than 130,000 families.
But if you are serious about finding out if you belong to an ancient noble family you must know what to look for. I am offering all readers to download a FREE chapter called "A nobiliary primer", explaining many difficult terms and nobiliary issues. The complete book, "Find Your Noble
Ancestors!" is also available for immediate download at
