Noel's angel Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 after a discussion on another thread, i thought it would be nice if everyone put up a picture of their family crest and maybe some information about it. here's mine: [img]http://www.familyfindings.com/McMillan/book/crest.gif[/img] First found in Agyllshire where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Archibald McMillan settled in Wilmington N.C. in 1774; along with Ivor and his wife Jean, James, Malcolm his wife Catherine and three sons; John McMillan was banished from the west country of England and arrived in New England in 1685. Motto Translated: I learn to succour the distressed. Some noteworthy people of the name MacMillan Viola MacMillan (1903-1993) Canadian gold-rush prospector Harold MacMillan (1894-1986) British Prime Minister Alec Shannon MacMillan American soccer player Daniel MacMillan (1813-1857) Scottish bookseller and publisher Donald Baxter MacMillan (1874-1970) American arctic explorer Maurice Harold MacMillan (1894-1986) English statesman Hugh Pattison MacMillan (1873-1952) Scottish judge John MacMillan (1670-1753) Scottish churchman Kenneth MacMillan (1929-) Scottish choreographer Kirkpatrick MacMillan (1813-1878) Scottish inventor/blacksmith

Laudate_Dominum Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Mine is the same as my kinsman crusader1234. You beat me to it.
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 [quote name='the_rev' date='Jan 24 2005, 08:30 PM'] where do I find this? [/quote] Not sure.. I think there are websites where you can look up your family crest (not the toothpaste!!!). What kind of surname do you have? Irish, English, etc..?
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 crusader1234, this site has clan stuff. Its cool. [url="http://obrienclan.com/clanobrien-com/"]http://obrienclan.com/clanobrien-com/[/url]

FutureSoror Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I don't know what mine looks like, I just know that there is one. I think I found one online once, though.
geetarplayer Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 [img]http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/1865/coatofarms.gif[/img] That's my grandmother's family crest. We have our ancestry dated back all the way to the 16th century in France. The Rivard brothers moved to Canada. Then fast forward about four hundred years, and my grandmother moved to America. -Mark
