Mazzie you're a marvel as usual. About coats of arms though Sarah, I remember reading a thread on a board some time ago that said just because you find a CofA that matches your name does not mean it's yours and you do not necessarily have the right to use it. Unfortunately can't remember who gave that advice. You may find it using the Search box. Jan

Thats what I'm after! Your a star, thank you.

try this one... it is the name search bit on there... http://search(.)swyrich(.)com/searchresults(.)asp?Licensee=4517&Surname=KNAUF&sId=&t=293 Remove all brackets

Thanks for the link. I have copied and pasted it into the address bar. It came up with coat of arms and surname goods to buy. That’s not what I wanted. So I have just telephoned the number off that website 'familycrests.biz', because I cannot locate the info that you were able to supply, they said they don't have a free name register or free information on their site, everything is purchase only. So I will keep searching, but thanks again for your help and advice, and yes I do appreciate your help. Thank you

Thats why i have given her the site name... she seems to think its for mugs and keyrings?? hence my lastest postings !!

MAZZIE.... you are a wealth of knowledge, hope Sarah appreciates your help, however she may want to research several names.

That site is not about free mugs and keyrings!!!! It is about the meaning of your surname, where the name originates from and the family crest that fgoes with that name!!!

I was hoping for free info that I could print out, not mugs and keyrings.

ASK THIS QUESTION ON THE TIPS BOARD, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET A LOT MORE RESPONSES.

Hi all, I am a newbie to this forum, so be gentle with me ;-) I'm looking for a good and honest website that could tell me the meanings or origins of my tree surnames. Also true coats of arms. Any info would be great, thanks.
