Family Crest/Sigil

As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Family Crest/Sigil

Post by conno11 »

How does one find his or hers family crest? Ive looked for mine and cannot seem to find any associated with my Italian last name? Why is this?

More than likely, there isn't one. Most families don't have these. Especially those whose ancestors emigrated from Italy. Most of our ancestors left because they were poor and seeking a better life. These were not the type of people who had family crests.
