Hi Medran,
Firstly, welcome to XMarks from up in Norfolk.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a 'Family Crest', unless of course you are middle European. There is a Coat of Arms in the UK, but the rule is One Man = One Coat. That is to say that your father would have the coat of arms and you (and your brothers) would have the same coat with slight differences. There might very well be a coat of arms associated with your name, but it is not yours, unless it has been granted to you or your father or his father etc by the College of Arms or by the Lord Lyon in Scotland.
Sorry if this sounds a bit brutal, but if the arms aren't yours, then they belong to someone else.
If on the other hand you mean a Clan Crest Badge as an affiliation to your clan, I would advise going to the Clan first - they would probably already have had some made.
Regards
Chas
