Debbie, I have a suggestion, make your own list of our email address and then send it to the group who requested it. Our email addresses are on our reply to the list. I have used this method in the past and find it works very well and saves time and postage. Blessings Evelyn.

My dear cousin -- Recently, I've been unable to concentrate on family research as much as I would like. Yesterday and today, I'm trying to at least acknowledge some messages, but I feel you deserve more than that. I would like to heap accolades upon your head, but will only comment that you may be the most accurate and thorough researcher that I have encountered in my thirty+ years of involvement in this wonderful, fun, fascinating study! And, your expertise is shadowed only by your generosity!! I sincerely appreciate your sharing all your precious accumulation of "dug up" facts about our ancestors. Everyone should take a page from your book concerning documentation and attention to detail. So, thanks........... Charlotte

Hi, I Have a question about John Michael Coker signing in German ??? Why?? why do you think he signed in German?? Was he from German/Germanic or was some one of his children married to a German?? I was had the impression the Coker was English. Some what confusing can you inlightin me.

Hi cousins :) As a long-time lurker on the heraldry newsgroup, I feel obliged to point out that the following arms are NOT associated with the surname Coker, but are associated with specific individuals and their direct descendants. In Scotland, you could (in theory) be prosecuted for displaying arms without having a pedigreed link back to the original grantee. In some European traditions (Polish, I believe), there are such things as coats of arms for specific surnames, but that's unlikely to affect Cokers. So, unless you've already traced your ancestry back to a Coker who was granted one of these coats of arms, don't get too excited about having it engraved on your silverware or carved over the mantlepiece. Also, one thing I've learned from the heraldry newsgroup is not to expect symbols to have a specific meaning. The Moor's head could possibly refer to a crusading Coker, but it could just as well be an allusion to one who had noticeably black hair, i.e., the armorial equivalent of a nickname of "Blackie". Unless you run across notes from the original grantee (or someone fairly close to him), you're unlikely to be able to pinpoint the meaning. Still, heraldry can be a very fascinating subject, and designing your own arms would make a good family project. There is an American College of Heraldry, which will assist you in registering your arms; keep in mind that, unlike the English College of Arms or the Scottish Lyons Court, this registration carries ABSOLUTELY NO LEGAL STANDING. The ACH site has links to other heraldry sites as well as a some explanations about coats of arms and their symbolism. http://www.americancollegeofheraldry.org/acheraldry.html Francois Velde is a regular contributor to rec.heraldry, and extremely knowledgeable about the subject, so his website is well worth a visit as well. http://www.heraldica.org/ If any Cokers do design our own arms, how about posting them here, either the blazon (description) or a link to a website where we can view them?

Yes, The color change if there are no specification written in the arms text. this is the basics. Yes, the Moor head /on Crest is for the campaigns against the Moors in Spain & Portugal There are several web sites on Heraldry that people can view. I have a program that makes Graphic of the Arms from the Arm text. BLAZON OF ARMS : Argent, on a bend gules three leopards' faces or. CREST : A moor's head, couped at the shoulders, fulfaced proper, wreathed about the temples.
