However, I am looking for some information on the Goodwin Coat of Arms.
UNQUOTE

As mentioned previously, there is no such thing as "the " Goodwin Arms. The arms belong to a person (and his legal heirs) or specific entity, not a name or a family. They're like a passoprt or a driving licence - they identify a specific destination.

I do not know my father/fathers family but do have a framed scroll with what I believe is the previously mentioned COA that says De bon Volore. You say to steer clear of this one?
UNQUOTE

As the first mentioned of the Goodwin arms listed in Burke's General Armory, they would be the most likely to be produced by a bucket shop in response to someone being duped into thinking that because the name is the same, then they must belong to them. If that were the case, there would be no requirement for the 500+ arms registered in Britain in the surname of Smith.

QUOTE
This is very important to me to find the most relevant COA.

Relevant? In what way?

Drop me an email at gjksau at (@) yahoo.com.au and I'll see if I can assist you in any way.
