GEN UKI, a charitable trust devoted to genealogy in the United Kingdom and Ireland, describes Payne's Armorial: "Payne's Armorial of Jersey was published in 1859. Contains many family trees and origin legends as well as Coats of Arms. Copies are held by all of Jersey's Libraries and the LDS. Not as accurate as it could have been, the publisher relied on submissions from the families represented, who paid to appear."
