The only variation seems to be what's on the shield. And even with that there are many similarities: crosses and noble animals like lions and horses. You would think someone back then would have been more creative and done something different now and then! I think that everyone here is posting the 1st pic they find of their "coat of arms". They seem to be all coming from the same site. I have a real copy of mine that was given to me by my father.

I have a 3rd or 4th cousin that has actually went as far as publishing a book on our family. It took her almost 20 years to put it all together. Lots of interesting things in it. The thing that stood out most was that, that part of my family has owned a LOT of Pubs and Inns. Seems we were a very addictive lot as far back as we can find. Then there was the huge castle in England that fell out of the family at some point. Probably drank themselves into debt and had to sell it to pay off bills.

Imagine my dismay when I learned that the origins of my family name "Vance" came from Provence, France. That is the earliest trace we've been able to identify but the direct line we have still starts in Scotland, because we have not been able to get any specific names from France.
