Showcasing the family Coat of Arms was a fad over a decade ago. I'm sure there was a kiosk in every mall around the holidays selling these. It always bugged me that my maiden name didn't have one that could be found. Sheesh, look up may last name and everyone listed is at the furthest relation a 3rd cousin. Literally, anyone with the name is a close relative, it is that rare. My sister-in-law posted her family's coat of arms, so I decided to look up my "new" name (as new as a decade can be.) It was confusing at first, because there seemed to be many to choose from. Then I started looking into each a little more closely, and I took out the ones that weren't directly related to Spain, and the ones left over were very similar. They all seem to have the same basis, maybe just more modern of with a little more flourish. So, I will discuss with hubby as to which is his favorite (as if he really cares) and I will have to frame the "best." Here is a sampling of what I found. I'm partial to the last one on the right.
