Hello BURRIS list, First, I want to thank the many people who sent me replies regarding my BURRIS Family Crest posting. My wife is of the BURRIS Family. I'm working on a family history for my JONES & her BURRIS family. I posted a request on JONES Roots postings for JONES Family Crest info. After receiving tons of replies regarding both family crests it has come down to belonging to the family line which had a crest. I'm not sure I should use any family crest that I have found so far. I have posted another message on the JONES list suggesting that since I was born in America, served for 3 years in the American Army then it would seem that I would be obliged to design my "VERY OWN FAMILY CREST". I feel that being an American citizen who pays taxes should give me the right to incorporate the American Flag in the design of my own family crest. After posting these messages on both the JONES & BURRIS lists I'm open for comments now. I'm thinking there might be some copy rights involved here. Thanks, Ed Jones
