NEW ONGOING: “Vitals” for each couple including ancestors, descendants, locations, grave GPS & more (click on first names in family trees)
IDEA: If you’re from one of our families, why not “save” that family tree file, then replace my name and descendants with yours, then print. and distribute! (I hope you’ll share this with my readers and me.)
How did you come about to have this family crest I am wondering? I keep getting the same one, but I believe this is the English version. The German Georg is red and yellow and black. Could you please advise? I would like to get the correct one if I am incorrect.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, I believe the crests and coat of arms I found on the internet and posted have an “E” on the end. Many English Saxon names have German origins. I can’t say that’s true of our Georg family – yet. I assure you that when I find the German Georg ensignia I’ll post them. Meanwhile, Do you have ancestors in New Germany near Friendsville, Western Maryland, as my wife does? Would you share your information. I’m preparing an introduction on our Georg family. You may write to me personally at [email protected]. Thanks,
Larry
