If anybody is interested, I can make you a coat of arms and compress it to use as an avatar on this site...

The Coat of arms is not going to be registered anywhere. And is as such just for fun and personal use.

If you has any preferences as to what pattern and contest of the shield, pleas tell me and mail me. I will mail you the crest for approval and eventually changes...


All for free and all for Lords and Lady's alike.

Here is mine.
Symbolising my stubbornness and my many years of education. The Bull for stubbornness. The Owl for education. The crosses is a symbol of my loyalty and dedication...

Very cool. My family has a coat of arms, but I'd be damned if I could find a copy of it. Of course, it could be in my mom's attic, along with lots of my old books...

This should bring you to the Venneman coat of arms...

That's it! I had a print made for my dad several years ago, and it's been in my attic for quite a while.

The use of Coats of Arms is for me just fun. My mothers family descents from the Klausen line. A German line whit the Coat of Arms of a black shield and a smaller golden shield inside on witch is a rampart lion.

I my self is more in line with my fathers family, proud Icelandish people. Direct decenting from the vikings. Vikings did not use Crests as there is no nobility on Iceland...Everybody on Iceland is nobelity...

I just made an avatar for Lady Jill.

Check it out.

Thanks again.

Up until now I felt naked.

I have the Clan Arthur tartan as my desktop wallpaper.

Lady Jill

I must say that I envy you who have a Scottish crest. They are so much nicer...

Guess it can't be called a crest - only a badge - which can legitimately be worn & used by clan members.

The crest & coat-of-arms was recently restored to the Clan itself by the Lord Lyon King of Arms and was designed from the original of King Arthur.

Our clan chief was beheaded by James I in 1427 and now, after hundreds of years, we have a seated a new Clan leader.

History is the fun part of geneology.

Lady Jill,

I'm descended from Mc Arthurs and also from James I, (sorry about that}

Laird Eoin........

Do you know where in Scotand your McArthurs migrated from and when?

Mine left the Isle of Mull in 1830 & 1849.

My McArthur was Mary McArthur and she was married to John Campbell and according to a family tombstone they were from 'The Braes of Lochaber'. According to family legend she was of the McArthur branch that were hereditary pipers to the Lord of the Isles.
They came to Australia as a married couple in 1839 with one son Alexander.

Here they prospered and multiplied to the extent that I'm still finding new relatives.

Thank You Laird Gerulf!!!! For all of your help in the past week,. So i really do apperciate all of your help. Thanks Again

Lord Richard

My pleasure - If a Laird cant help a fellow Laird/Lord or Lady in the dire situations life cast upon us. Then the world might as well stop rotating...

Enjoy..

Lochaber is Campell country...you cant walk down the street without every third person being a Campbell! I expect you have enen more history here (ie descendants from john Campbell who didnt go to Aus but stayed here) so an excuse to visit here soon
