Family History

I had the family crest researched and discovered that there were two.

Both date back to the mid 14th century. One from England,

the other from Germany. To reconcile the fact, that our bloodline

immigrated from Germany in the mid-1800's, I combined them.

This is how it turned out. Rather nice I think.

I added the banner as a special touch for our family branch.

It says, "Do Ut Des", which is Latin for

"Give To Gain".
