Family Crests

Family Crests

November 27, 2025

Family crests, or coats of arms, originated in medieval Europe to identify noble lineages on battlefields or in tournaments. Symbols like eagles or crosses denoted values or status, regulated by heraldic bodies like England’s College of Arms. Modern families researching crests through genealogy societies may find authentic links to ancestors, though scams selling generic “surname crests” mislead many, emphasizing the need for verified lineage.
