Question:Looking for the 'Mihulka' family crest/coat of arms.

It is a Czechlosovakian surname and I've seen the crest before but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

There is no such thing as a family crest.

A crest is part of a coat of arms. Coats of arms do not belong to surnames. They were and are granted to individuals and are passed down through the legitimate direct male line of descent.

You can put "familycrest" or coats of arms in your search engine and come with with numerous sites peddling coats of arms.

Actually, there might be, for instance, 15 different men with the same surname, , not all necessarily related, each granted their own coat of arms, all different.

Peddlers that sell them on the internet, at airports, at shopping malls, in magazines or solicit by mail won't have all 15. They don't need to in order to sell to gullible people. The only time they will have more than one if more than one person with the same surname of different national origins were granted coats of arms. In that case they will have one of each when in fact there might have been several of each.

See the link below, one from the British College of Arms (they grant coats of arms and if you send them your family tree they can search to see if your father or your husband is entitled to one even though it might not be of British origin. I am sure it is costly). The other is from the most prestigious genealogical organization in the U.S., The National Genealogical Society.

We get a lot of students with assignment asking for their coat of arms. If this is your case, please print off the 2 links I am furnishing you and give them to your teacher.

Anytime you see one of those walnut plaques with a coat of arms on it and a surname underneath, a keychain or coffee mug with a coat of arms on it, what the person is displaying is one that was just granted to someone with their surname and might not even be related.

There are no laws regarding heraldy in the U.S. and there are merchants of deceit that take advantage of Americans.

Apparantly it was all just a figment of your imagination, and family crests don't exist?
