My family has used a particular coat of arms for centuries (not only in South Africa but also in Württemberg), but we cannot prove a blood connection with the family that actually owns it (who live in Franconia, that is to say northern Bavaria).

I plan to register it in Pretoria, but don’t have the means at the moment.
Regards,
Mike
