In Reply to: Looking for Harty Family Crest by Nancy Harty of 531

There are two, the first and oldest has a right faced I think it's a raven head at the top of the shield. It has to shamrocks on the upper half and one at the bottom. The one Robert Way Harty was given when made a Baron & Mayor of Dublin in 1831 also had a ban in the middle of the shield with three blue right faced full ravens, that background is gold. The motto in latin means "Death before Dishonor". I found this in the English tax book, "Burkes Armory", it's in all the library's.
I have a list of 133 Civil War relatives with our name who fought, all died, 13 were confederates. None fought against each other, I checked. Hope this helps, I have some more information from census records and such. Write and exchange info if you like. Bye!
