UK Visitations 

Heralds' Visitations

Heralds Visitations contain pedigree charts, and in many cases coats of arms, of families documented when the Heralds visited each county, from the early 16th century to the late 17th century. The Heralds were responsible for ensuring that people claiming or using coats of arms were entitled to do so, through either being granted their own arms or being directly descended in the male line from an ancestor to whom they had been granted. These books contain some of the earliest documented pedigrees, and have been largely published by The Harleian Society (and others) since the late 19th century.

These are some of the visitations I have found, I will put more on when I find them.
