    My grandmother ,s cousin the von Lilienschilds have a coat of arms.They took part in the Crusades and later in the Baltic Crusades.Their last name means lily shield ,took their last name from their coat of arms.My dad,s family the Hilperts are entitled to use von in their name.There are several coats of arms for Hilpert I have seen.The relatives in Nuremberg keep the family history book and apparently their is a copy in the state archives in Hamburg.Will have to check out your website.

    I am Danish and my family on my Mothers side is from Germany and at some point way back came from the line of Gottschalk and Hertz, on my fathers side, where I got my surname from, is from Gotland and is named Engman.

    My family coat of arms is for the Ladage Family of Korbach/Kassel in Germany. Would love to have more info but all we could find was a brief paragraph with a photo in the museum in Kassel over 40 years ago.

    I've found some info that traces my family line to the 1300's. I've a feeling there's a way for it to be traced even farther tho.
    We've a family crest, colors of yellow and purple, those odd winged lions on the sides too.
    But there's also another crest linked directly to my family. There's the knights helmet, above and below it are men holding fish, one in each hand. The men are shirtless and have thick puffy looking hair. The image has no colors.
    I was given the image of the first crest, the one with colors, by a person who was helping research our family tree.
    Most older generations with the knowledge we needed to know, didn't have much to say or show, just family photos.
    There is however a road with our name in Germany, and there once was a town in our name, but in the past 2yrs, I can't find it anymore sadly. It might have been renamed.
    I've something written in german, but I'm still struggling to translate what it really means.
    My family line is so huge now. It's so neat how anyone born with my maiden last name, how we are all related. People with last names like William can't say that, so having a unique last name is neat and my kids are starting to want to learn about family history on my side, and I'd love to know more.

      Bullshit...No way it can be traced to the 1300s. No body could write or read back then and paper was a luxury only for the wealthy. You cannot with reliability go further then the 17th century.

    • @CoatofArmsDatabase
      @CoatofArmsDatabase  2 года назад +1

      I cannot find any blazons for Hagerman or Hegerman.
      Christoffer Hegerman (1721 - 1795) Hessian/Prussian mercenary who fought for George III at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. He was attached to the British Army that fought at the Conquest of Quebec in 1759. Choosing to settle in North America, he moved south to Dutchess County in New York where he purchased 2,000-acres. He sided with the British during the Revolution but did not fight. He later joined his son, Nicholas, at Adolphustown, Upper Canada, where he died in 1795. He was the father of at least 4 sons.
      The Dictionary of American Surnames states: North German (Hägermann): Westphalian variant of Hager.
      There are numerous coats of arms for Hager.

      Hello Joe,
      We have numerous coats of arms for the Hamelin surname, about 25 or so, but most are associated with France.
      One member of the Hamelin family Normandy was ennobled in France in 1667 and had the following coat of arms: Argent (white or silver), a chevron chequy or and gules.
      One from Buckinghamshire, England - Gules (red). a lion, rampant, ermine ducally crowned or (yellow or gold).
      To figure out which, if any, coat of arms was borne by your Hamelin ancestors, you would need to do your genealogy to trace your ancestry back to figure out which branch of the Hamelin family you belong to. We offer these services here:
      coadb.com/which-coat-of-arms-is-mine
      I hope that helps. Let us know if you have questions.
