Question:

Shouldn't more effort be made to educate people that just because a coat of arms?

has their surname doesn't mean it belongs to their them and their family. There are no laws regarding heraldry in the U. S. A person is free to display one if they want to, but that is like putting up a picture of a famous person with their surname and claiming he is their relative whether they know he is or not.

Also people with the same surname do not necessarily have the same source for their surname.
