Unfortunately, neither sides of my family have a crest. My father's family changed our last name during WWII because my... great-grandmother? ... wanted to become a nun and German women could not become nuns. So any crest for our current surname would not actually belong to our family.

Then there's my mum's side. My grandfather managed to trace our family back to Ireland where he found out that a woman in our family had a baby out of wedlock. Her family owned an inn and she fell in love with a man who worked nearby, I believe. Therefore, there's no real proof of whether or not the surname belonged to him or whether or not it was pulled out of the inn's log book. The rest of our records where kept in a church that burned down.

Ofcourse this probably isn't really my family's for obvious reasons.
