How To Find The Correct Coat of Arms For Your Family 

I don't know how many times I've been to gift shops of castles or other historic buildings in the UK where they'll have coasters with family crests on them, but sounds like a tattoo is a much more permanent mistake to get the wrong coat of arms. It's also worth noting even if you find out you're not directly entitled as an individual to inherit a specific blazon, you can still sometimes get one with a cadency mark showing your ancestry while denoting that you are not the firstborn or are decended from a second or third born son.

Good afternoon, Firstly, please allow me to congradulate you for the research that you have done in the family history of the late Mrs. Gates. However, please forgive me to state that their is no such thing as a "family coat of arms." Heraldic acheivements in the British custom, are granted to one individual, and may be passed down to the first son (possibly today, son). Therefore, Mrs Gates would not could not have the heraldic achievement presented, as they are not hers. One would have to make a resquest through a heraldic authority like the Canadian Heraldic Authority, the Court of Lord Lyon or the College of Arms to petition for a grant of arms. Element may be shared from the original, however the new grant will have to be different.

It hurts my ears to hear Americans mispronounce the names of Engish cities. FyI, the letter "C" is silent in the middle of city names as is also de "W". Why, I don't know exactly; but it has to do with the origin of the word. Most cities which include -Cester in their name are of Roman origin. Leicester, Gloucester, Towcester, Bicester, Worcester, etc all are pronounced without the letter C. Lester, Gluster, Toaster, Bister, Woorster. :-). Also, -shire at the end of a county is pronounced - sheere. So Worcestershire is pronounced Woor-ster-sheer and Leicestershire Lester-sheer.

There's no such thing as a "correct coat of arms for [a] family". Coats of arms belong to specific individuals, and are inherited in direct succession. They do not apply to entire family names.

Hi that was a very helpful video. By the way it is pronounced glo ster

The problem I have is that my surname is Ukrainian and trying to find much from that area is a problem. Much of the landed gentry and nobility information was destroyed by the Russian Revolution. I found 3 coats of arms listed in the Riechstap Armorial for my surname: 1 German and 2 Russian. I'm having problems finding much information on my family pedigree anyway beyond the death certificates of my grandparents.

How do I go about finding everything I need to know to find coat of arms?

Where did you find the actual photos or pictures of the coat of arms. I found the book online but it didn’t saw where to go for a picture

Why are you going back through the grandma? I thought family name is with the father?

why 16th generation, and not say 10th or 12th generation?

Thank you ❤🎉

Just checked mine and there are 27 variants, BTW it's pronounced gloss-ster (Gloucester)

Just curious. The document says quarterly, which means if im not wrong, there were 4 sections of the coat of arms. Why is the first section more important and considered the individual's arms, when there were 4? Is it just because that was the same as the arms of end result?

how did you establish the 'ancestral lineage', I don't really know how to research finding the parents, then their parents etc?

Is there anything like this but for spanish and italian surnames? Great video by the way.

I guess it's his family's now
