Okay! Now, thanks to the amateurheralds web site I found the motto on my scarab ring. It means "Aim at a sure end." That's me! Now there were several names after the translation of the motto. Are those the names of authors, or other resource persons? The names were Bissland, Corse, Crosse, Howard, Thompson, Tidswell. So now what? I sent a picture of my ring, and I'm going nuts waiting to hear from someone!!! By the way, my grandmother (whose ring it was) came from Silesia -- born there in 1862.
