uh...why do they all look the same?
they all have the same exact plant like things and the same helmet type thing.

the only thing that changes is in the square, the colors, and the thing above the helmet (dog, eagle, lion)

It's a German crest - my last name is German even though no one in my family has any German in them whatsoever.

I have my dad's last name, and he was born in uganda, and flew here to escape the war over there when he was 16. No crest for my name, but my mom has one. Text



EDIT: On a completely unrelated note...


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, I can't find a picture of my family's crest, but it involves boars, and it is sure as heck not the one this place gives me.

Most of those are, to be honest, bullshit. Its just another way to seperate a man from his money.
Do your research, learn your family history. Probably less then 3% of the people on this board could trace themselves back to a line that legitimately had a honest to God family crest.

I can find 3 for myself. So yes, per "The Intarweb" I have a family crest. In actuality my family descended from well noted, highly acclaimed and widely praised......farmers.
English farmers werent known for having family crests.

Now I'm sure some people here do have legitimate family crests, and if so I would definitely get it and display it.
But do your research first. And it takes alot of time and legwork to do it unfortunately.

True. When I type in my name I get a german coat of arms... trouble is I'm sweedish. My family name has no coat of arms. In Sweeden my last name is the equivilant of being named "Miller" or "Jones".
