Family Coat of Arms

[col8]

Do you have a coat of arms?
Going on from a comment in the "Where have you lived thread"
I wondered how many others have a Coat of Arms?

The Keating name has a fascinating history, and it’s associated with Norman origins in Ireland. Let me share some interesting details about the Keating family:

1. Norman Origin and Settlement:
   • The Keating name in Ireland has its roots in the Norman invasion. Anglo-Norman settlers brought the name to Ireland at the end of the twelfth century.
   • They initially settled in County Wexford, which is in the southeastern part of Ireland.
   • Over time, branches of the Keating family became established in other regions, including Leix and other parts of South Leinster1.

I've just been presented with 6-8 different ones, but sadly 'field' is a named feature of a coat of arms (background or foreground from memory) so I've never been able to nail it down.

My little search tonight threw up some things I didn't know, it's also loosely Jewish linked but obviously the grounding is 'where cows shit' and it historically began in Staffordshire, and spread to Ireland and Australia.

The original Stafford link and name was a Knights Templer apparently.

This is the most common option, but as said I get design and colour options that are different.

If that is the right one, it looks like someone ran out of colour compared to yours Col PMSL

Well looking at both coats of arms I can conclude we are a couple of "Helmets"

Which site did you use, so many coming up on google, I can't be doing with checking them all out!

All our family have coats with arms on them.

Have I misread the question ?

I've also got a few different results, but the main part is the 3 stags heads on the shield.

The name Doyle in Ireland is thought to be of Norse origin and comes from the Irish Ó'Dubhghaill or dubh ghall, the "dark stranger or foreigner". This was a descriptive formula first used to describe the invading Vikings, and in particular to distinguish the darker-haired Danes from the fair-haired Norwegians.

The name is most prominent in Dublin, Wexford, Wicklow and Carlow. The motto on the Doyle coat of arms says 'Fortitudine Vincit' which means 'He conquers by strength'



Right so that's all my addresses and my surname, what's the next thread, our favourite online banking passwords? lol

My family DNA results showed my early Irish family tree mainly originated around Wicklow and Carlow and later Dublin. The family name in Wicklow was Walsh.

That's interesting, it's a pretty common name around where I grew up.

Again with Walsh I see helmets in the coat of Arms, my wifes surname was Roper, we researched the family history and father in law was unimpressed that they were locked in the tower for treason....

The trend of commonality probably shouldn't be surprising really, but given folks in this thread have fewer commonalities that most - I'm slightly surprised there isn't more variance in the arms.

I know (especially back then) only so much could change purely from the design/creation point of view, but mine and the Walsh is almost identical, and Kef's isn't far off albeit colouring.

But clearly our own links wouldn't imply that.

If anything I'd have thought SJH and TH would be closer because of the clear Irish and Wexford links?
