Sow us the fekin flag

I did this a long time ago.  It's been sitting on my desktop.  Unfortunately, only the eldest son can continue to bear the coat of arms.  I read somewhere.  Of course, many of these are similar and I have little confidence they are true family crests.  In addition, there are very few families who had family crests created in the past.  I think a lot of this is a result of a resurgence of interest in the subject.  I think every 20 years or so, I get offers for genealogy reports.  I do think it's pretty interesting even though I have little faith in their accuracy.  As a student of History (I majored in History in undergraduate and graduate school) I could probably track down my official genealogy with some research and travel(since not all records are online yet).  My sister and aunt have done a lot of research into our genealogy as far back as the 15th Century but I doubt a lot of their findings because they've used a lot of these services' free trials and stacked them with others to go back further.  I think a lot of them throw you a "we've found a connection with royalty" or something like that to hook you then they start charging money.

Looks like they changed the anchor a little bit since I did it last.  I didn't pay any money.

The National Geographic DNA tracker thing would've been cool though.
