Rebecca,

There are several Barnard Coats of Arms registered in England and listed Burke's Armorial Descent. There is no single coat of arms for the Barnards as a group because Coats of Arms belong to specific individuals and not families in general. Some people mistakenly believe coats of arms belong to a surname. This is a common mistake made by many people who are often taken advantage of by companies that sell prints and pictures and even wood carvings of their "family" Coat of Arms.

If you are interested in trying to have your own coat of arms registered in England, e-mail me at the address shown and I'll send you the address to the College of Arms in London, and they will send you an information package at you request.

Cheers!
