Arms

In Reply to: coat of arms? by Beverly Crabtree of 2800

Sorry, there is no Conway family coat of arms. There is no such thing as a family coat of arms. In most Western European countries, a coat of arms is for a person, not a family. It can be passed on to ONE heir, but all other children will use differenced arms, as they give rise to different branches of the family.

If someone in a mall offers to sell you a copy of "YOUR FAMILY CREST", they're trying to defraud you.

If you want a better explanation, see "How to find your family crest" in the coat of arms forum (www.genforum.com/coatofarms) or see www.ualberta.ca/~dgeorge/genes/crest.htm.
