These coats of arms that many of us have came from some relatives who had big aspirations. Or, some non-relatives with the same surname. There is a company -- the name of which I forget -- that used to sell "family books" and "coats-of-arms" that were, to put it one way, made out of whole cloth. Now, there are websites that will do the same thing. Just now, I Googled "scheffler coat of arms" and came up with 1900 or so entries. But, if you want to learn about the heraldic process, here is a place to look: http://www.heraldica.org/ Good luck, Pat |-----Original Message----- |From: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com |[mailto:roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ralph Scheffler |Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 14:18 |To: ROOTS-M@rootsweb.com |Subject: [ROOTS-L] SCHEFFLER Coat of Arms | | | |Pat - | I have been trying to find out about my family surname |SCHEFFLER "Coat of Arms" for some time.
