Actually, I wanted to interject a question about my family's arms, if I may. In my family, the Foleys of Clare, the tendency for describing the arms usually involves not nearly as technical terms as you, Mike and Padraig, have been using. In my mother's generation, for instance, the arms are considered flabby but tanned, like a turkey's waddle, if I may. Then, going back another generation, the arms were much more descriptive of the Foley's social class at that time: muscular and lean. So my question is: what could be more important on a genealogy list than a really spirited discussion of Irish arms?
