RN #243 The Jones Surname : A Genealogical Classification System

This notebook contains reprints from The Jones Genealogist that group a number of articles that deal with my research into the Jones surname.  A Jones Classification System is what it attempts to develop based upon the historical use of the coat of arms associated with the various family groups.

The original research is contained in RN # 89 and RN #90.  Beginning Vol VI, No. 5, Jan/Feb 1995, this research was published in a series of articles.   They are grouped in this notebook.
