To the enthusiastic team of people that are responsive to the people eager to locate their "family crest"...

I appreciate your efforts. And your willingness to do look ups in your libraries and explain the "greek" of Heraldic law and symbols and descriptions.

However -- please do not use such posts to do more than reply to the person and their query. This is NOT a discussion board regarding all things Heraldic. It is not on topic to have debates on someone's simple query. Posts that are extraneous to the query and those with commercial links will be deleted.

Please keep in the spirit and within the topic of this message board. If you'd like to hold in depth discussions in general of Heraldry, there are forums created for that.

Please keep your responses germain to the original post.

Thank you,

Lauren McLachlan
