Title: Coverdale Coat of Arms
Post by: TechnoEthicist on September 23, 2009, 02:16:14 PM

Never have I felt so blessed to learn more about my heritage...I am still trying to figure out whether the coat was commissioned because of Miles Coverdale or others...it was worth every penny...have a look!

That is superior to the McFly Coat of No Arms

That's Cool.  I have also been interested in looking up my families heritage and trying to find our old coat of arms, but I have no idea where to start.  All my attempts point me towards a german heritage but I don't trust the sources where I got the info.
