The following coat of arms is for the pure enjoyment of the graphics, it can not be claimed by my wife's family. There is no such thing as a "Family Coat of Arms". A coat of arms is issued to an individual, not to a family. The study of coats of arms is called heraldry. People who control the issuance of coat of arms are the heralds. They decide who is authorized to display as their own, a certain coat of arms. Even the heir of such an individual may not claim their ancestor's coat of arms without the authorization from the heralds.
