I found the blaozn listed in Sir Bernard Burke's Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, or General Armoury of England, Scotland and Ireland . Since my name is English in origin, there would be no clan involved, and it wouldn't fall under Lyon's jurisdiction, would it? I'm not trying to steal someone else's arms; just clearing up some misconceptions about who can use them. Thanks for all the answers so far.



WBHenry,
You wouldn't happen to be ELCA, would you? I graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College and sang in the A Cappella Choir when we toured in your area several years ago.
