While perusing through the family history books over the weekend, I was surprised to find the rich history of my family’s coat of arms over the centuries. They go back much further than I realized with various renditions of the family cattle brand of a “crazy” or backwards “J” and a “G.”
From Lascaux, France. These appear to be the original arms.

Yes, and I didn’t even include my cousin who plays pro basketball in Chicago.
