Imperial Ennoblements in Austrian State Archives

[Kurt Alex]

The following link http://archivportal.at/archivplansuche.aspx?ID=2724711 will take you to a page in the Austrian State Archives where it is possible to search for names and COAs in the 'Reichsadelsakte' (Acts of Imperial Ennoblement). The basic instructions on the page are in English. Other archives are also available there by moving to the 'Adelsarchiv" level and clicking the small box to the left to open the list of other archives.

I also recently read a post in the German forum Heraldik im Netz that explains how it is possible to display a list of the contents in each of the cartons stored in the Austrian State Archives. Time permitting, I will translate the 'how to' if anyone shows interest.
