Explaining Family Crest Terminology
For many years I have had an interest in “Coats of Arms?, which are
often referred to as Family Crests. Family Crests are located directly
on top of the wreat on the Coat of Arms, which is above the helmet,
mantle and shield. Habitation origin, occupational origin and
occupative origin is typical of terminology that may be used in
Heraldry. If you have studied Heraldry or are involved, you already
know that it is very easy to understand.
