Hello, and welcome to the Ancestral Findings newsletter. I hope you're having a fantastic Friday!

Take a look at this week's free genealogy lookups selection. Perhaps there is something that can assist you in your genealogy research.

Let's meet William Floyd, a prominent New Yorker who made history as one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Although serving as a delegate to the Continental Congress was just a tiny part of his political career, William achieved great success in New York politics. Even today, he remains a well-known figure in the state.

As a starting point, numerous genealogists are interested in discovering their family crest or coat of arms. It is a common misconception that all families possess one of these emblems somewhere in their distant past, and individuals new to the genealogical naturally desire to pay homage to their family by reviving their coat of arms. This is a commendable aspiration, and if your family has a coat of arms or crest you are authorized to utilize, you should take the time to educate yourself about it and showcase it with pride. Here is the truth behind family coats of arms.

I am excited to let you know that the winners of the free postcards have been selected for this week. Please take a moment to review the list of winners to find out if you are one of them.
