    One of the big problems is that they don't seem to differentiate between things like Heraldic arms and Clan crests let alone explain mottos, war cries or bucklers. It's all just 'The picture your family uses!'
    A lot of people are getting spoon-fed nonsense, but they are happy to have it and display it.

    The Harmsworth has what is described a wolf cub, bear cup or a leopard on the family crest. Looks like just some big black blob that never really looked like any of the above animals. Don't know my history back further than my Grandparents, sometimes I'm curious but it won't keep me up at night.
