Every time someone writes to the heralds' lists looking for help
finding a period form of a particular Italian name, I wish there were
a quicker way to check the Italian armorial in CodIcon Online to see
if it's there. So I finally indexed several thousand surnames, about
ninety place names, and a half dozen house names myself. There're
three separate articles, accessible through my names index <http://
coblaith.net/Names/default.html>. Please use them, and spread the
word to anybody else you think might be interested. (I figure
they'll mostly be useful to folks researching names, but those trying
to decipher a strange blazon or locate an alternate emblazon for a
particular family's arms might find them helpful, too.)
