How about a YahooGroup out of France called [Heraldique-Noblesse] with 
549 members?
http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/Heraldique-Noblesse/
"... Cette liste est dédiée à la recherche sur la noblesse et la 
bourgeoisie,
  la recherche et les identifications d' armoiries, la compréhension du 
langage héraldique,
  ainsi que la réalisation de dessin de blasons.

This list is dedicated to research on the nobility and the 
middle-class, the search and the identifications for armorial bearings, 
the comprehension of the heraldic language, as well as the realization 
of drawing of "coats of arms"...."

Not quite ‘genealogy’.. yet closely related.... Seems to me that it is 
indeed a different hobby and should be considered in your study.
