Look # 25

Keep in mind that there are rules of heraldry and is a crime in countries that govern, to view or to claim as your own.
I would avoid places that make you pay. There are books and websites that show examples of heraldry. It just takes a lot of work.

It is unlikely that you have a family crest.
Cups, mugs, wall hangings and other gadgets family crest are available online anywhere. But "families" have no ridges, rather, individuals. The arms should be granted and for the right to arms, you must prove descent through a male line of a person to whom arms were granted.

You are right ... Some websites will not load.
I checked a few sites, and some are free, but they do not have your name in them. Although additional research can achieve something.
You probably can not copy a few pictures, then paste them into. Doc documents.
If you know how to change it from. Doc to. Jpg, so maybe it is a way forward.

You need to provide more information. What is needed is your patrilineal line with names, dates and places of birth and death. With this information, it might be possible to focus on an ancestor in your lineage who bore arms.

Of course, Web sites surname family coat of arms are scams. They just sold a coat of arms with a list of similar names. These sites have nothing to do with the heraldic tradition, because the weapons are inherited from ancestors.

A crest is only part of a shield. Arms do not belong to surnames. They have been issued or supported by one man.
Often more than one man with the same surname, not all necessarily related, are each entitled to their own coat of arms, all different. Not one of those hawkers who sell on the Internet, in shopping malls, airports, in magazines or requested by mail will each of them. They do not need a prescription to deal with its waste. The only time they will have more than one coat of arms associated with the same name is if more than one man with the name of different national origins have received. Then they have one of each and there were others. Most men with this particular name has never been granted and therefore they have no descendants who are entitled to one.

Sometimes, a woman inherits arms if there is no male heir. Also women like Queen and Margaret Thatcher Elizabeeth received.

For England, Wales and Northern Ireland, they are granted by the College of Arms. See links below
re their rules to inherit a coat of arms. They do not belong to families, but to individuals. They are inherited by individuals.

In Scotland, they are granted by the Lord Lyon of Scotland. They do not belong to families. See the link below:

House names, one of the merchants of scam, which sells a result the small print when you pull up the arms which they Humberstone below.

"We encourage you to study the genealogy of Humberstone to find out if you descend from someone who bore an equal footing.
