Question:

How to find my family coat of arms picture???

This is for my girlfriend, she has to find this, she doesnt have the internet and if she doesnt have it soon she'll fail the class she's taking. So please help me out... her last name is Starnes, first name Katelynn.

Thank you


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Starnes

Origin: English

Coat of Arms: Silver with a chevron between three black crosses.

Crest: A c*o*c*k starling. (Yahoo blocks this word without the stars !)

Spelling variations of this family name include: Sterne, Stern, Stearn, Stearns and others.

First found in Buckinghamshire where they were seated as Lords of the manor of Grendon from early times.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Abigail and Mary Stearns settled in Salem, Mass. in 1630; Isaac Stearns, his wife Mary, his son and four daughters settled in Massachusetts in 1630; Charles Stearns settled in New England in 1640.

PS - In case you don't know - a chevron is like an inverted "V"
