Burke's Peerage and Gentry


Arms

Royal Descents


Peerage

Early Burke's Peerage is not very reliable. Use with caution. Later Burke's Peerage is good.
  

The Complete Peerage and Baronetage

This is the most reliable Peerage and Baronetage.


Other Peerage


Burke's Extinct Peerage and Baronetage

Burke's Extinct Peerage and Burke's Extinct Baronetage are so unreliable that I am phasing them out as sources entirely.

John O'Hart

John O'Hart is not very reliable. He starts off with myths - Adam, the Deluge, Milesius, and so on. The myths rather cast doubt on his work in historical periods. Some of his early modern pedigrees may be accurate. But everything needs to be cross-checked.
