Crest are not attached to last names, they belong to FAMILIES (see link inside for details)

Basically, you're only entitled to arms or crests of you direct ancestors had them, or you've paid for them and registered them.

I have a question. I was going to have a ring made of my last name THOMAS but after reading this article I see that I can't just have a coat of arms made for Thomas because it goes on my family history if I am reading right. Who may I get to do the research of my family to see if I have a coat of arms or not? How does all of that work?
Thank you kindly,
Shana Thomas

You can find what you're looking for (for free!) in your public library, and about e-mailing strangers...
