Watch Antiques Roadshow. Lots of time the owner of an item will say something along the line of "great great grandpaw inherited this from his uncle who was shooting elephants in Northern Russia." The experts state that the item was made in 1900 in Altoona. As was said in Big Fish, anyone can tell a story but not everyone can tell a great story.Quote:you leave out the dialogue that Monroe says its a family crestYou are assuming family crest referrers to blood related individuals. You forget a family can be made up of none blood related individuals. A group of individuals with the same heritage can be referred to as a family or a clan.
