I've found a wonderful site to feed my love of English Heraldry: http://college-of-arms.gov.uk/
Is there a similar site for Germany?
I just recieved my AoA in the SCA, but for some time I have known that it is in fact possible for a non-British citizen to be given a Grant of Arms from the English College of Heralds. The trick is to be a direct decendent of a male British citizen.
I think both my grandfathers are fully German. I also think my father has a coat of arms somewhere that might be linked to my family's past. I'd like to find a site similar to the one I linked here for Germany so I might start looking more deeply into this.
