    "A coat of arms is a symbol used to identify families"

    Coat of arms were in most cases granted to a specific person - and were NEVER meant to be used by anyone with the same surname.

    It has only been through companies and people of scrupulous intent - that people have come up with this blatantly false information that Coat Arms represent an entire surname.

    FAMILYSEARCH clearly needs to clean this page up - with more legit information about what Coat of Arms are and are not.
