FAMILY HERALDRY AND ORIGINS

To find these and other books about heraldry, enter the word "Heraldry" in the search field above and press the "SEARCH" button.

Many Sephardic families were ennobled as Conversos after 1492 - 1497, so that some crests will contain Christian symbology. Families can have more than one crest for a variety of reasons. Crests provided are registered. Many of the family crest descriptions also contain information about family origin. Heraldry may or may not be borne only by the descendants of the individual to whom they were granted. If you wish to display these crests, best read the rules.

The following links are provided to assist you in translating the colors and symbols on your family crest.
