This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Morales, Otero, Viruet Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jI2.2ACIB/200.2 Message Board Post: The Morales coats of arms design and information are located at the two sites listed below. Only the original owner (and their direct blood decedents) for which the coat of arms was designed and issued to can use the coat of arms. The rules of heraldry are very clear about this. You can design your own coat of arms using some of the designs and elements of the original coat of arms of the first Morales. There are many associations that will help you in designing you a heraldry heirloom that reflects our proud name. If you are serious about your family roots and history then you will be serious in its heraldry too. Hope this helps you - happy searching. http://www.waltermorales.net/family.htm http://www.caller2.com/autoconv/laonda99/laonda50.html
