WVHighlander,

I actually haven't even sent in a petition yet; I'm still working on getting all of my proofs in order, deciding on the form that I would like my arms to take, and putting a bit of money away here and there to pay the fees.

Doing the genealogical leg-work is a time-consuming process, but I'm enjoying it.

There are a number of other forum members that could answer your question - hopefully one of them will chime in.

EDIT: I should also point out that the final form that the arms take is up to Lord Lyon; he could make and/or suggest changes to any requested arms before having the letters patent drawn up.
