Steven I suppose you could say that you think they have made an error and perhaps suggest your friend goes back to them for confirmation. I just hope your friend isn't the type to 'shoot the messanger' If it was me, being a coward, I probably wouldn't say anything. Chris |

True Merry But its like he has done a brick wall if you know what i mean and if you knew the amount of requests i get from the states for me to draw them you would be stunned honest. But its that site and the other ones they own that pee me off you can enter any name and guess what you have a family crest its a total rip off that annoys me. Opps ranting again sorry Steve |

Hi all fellow searchers and looker uppers I had a great email from a pal in the states to day, boy was he proud he had just taken delivery of his............. wait for it..............FAMILY COAT OF ARMS and he sent me a scan of it......... very nice it was too. Now we know a lot of our cousins over the pond love to find their UK ancestors and thats brill so i asked him where he got it from and the dreaded House of Names web site came to light (if you have never heard of it google and you will see what i mean) Now the reason my friend sent the scan is that he knows i have a passion for Heraldry and draw Family crests as a hobby (i know you cant use them but people like to use them as wallpaper on there computers) and he had asked me to do his family crest for him but when i looked through all my sources i couldnt find one for his family, hence what he did (House of Names web site). Now when i checked in Burks the one they sent him is a real one but belongs to a totaly different family. His last name is Penstone The one they sent belongs to the Pritchards Now how the hell do they get from Penstone to Pritchards???? Ok do i tell him the truth or not he was so pleased and proud, what do you think |
