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.
