<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smallaxe, post: 6334437, member: 13430&quot;]Was it found in the USA or Europe? </p><p>I got some insight into coat of arms &amp; motto in US families while researching my wife&#039;s family which were well off during the gilded age. There were (and we still have) seals, a gold ring/seal, elaborate book plates with the coat of arms, and old letters between relatives discussing coat of arms and mottos. It was something that seemed fairly important to them, yet what they were coming up with seemed more reconstructed than legitimate. </p><p>It was interesting to see this fascination and compare it to my Swedish born grandmother who had ancestors from several noble families. Her uncle still lived on the family estate farm but he and others in the family didn&#039;t care at all about that old heraldry stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
