About
Us
Since 1972
Hall of Names has been researching the origins and history of families
surnames. In 1986 we released The World's First computerized on-site
retrieval system that was able to database over 25,000 surname histories
which could then be printed on parchment using a dot matrix printer.
Today our retrieval
systems have over 1,000,000 surname histories from all over the world.
Through the internet we receive thousands of research request every week
and continue to add new surname histories to our databases. These histories
are prepared on Color Laser Printers and include not only the history of
the family name but a full color print of the Ancient Coat of Arms.
