i think i should say thanks for your reply....but not really. so i think i have the right to have a picture or a plaque of my family coat of arms, i am proud of my roots and would like to display that....if that is ok by you?

but you must admit....pretty impressive genes isnt it, perhaps you may be jealous :)Enkidu? i guess you dont have photos in your home of your family then.

thanks every one else for your effort anyway, i really do appreciate it. any reply is a good reply.

Genealogy / Coat of arms LIS - Swietopelk-Zawadzki (Fox) family name and Bochenski family name [21]

i have checked that out, that is not the coat of arms for my family. this is my concern, that a company may sell me the wrong one, ours is coat of arms "lis" or the "fox" it has a shield shape with a different type of cross in the centre of it, on top of that it has a fox on top with quite a large tail, i will put a picture here.

gosh it would be awful to purchase the incorrect one, that is the only thing that worries me as there are so many companies that make replications now, i want to make sure they are legitimate.

thanks again for your effort i do appreciate it and i do understand your effort. thank you
