Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you had such a thing, you would have received it from your father.

There is no such thing as a family crest. Crests belong to an individual person. They are usually passed down to the oldest son. If your father didn't leave you a crest, you don't have one.

Any crest you find claiming to be for your family or surname is a scam. It's highly unlikely it ever belonged to anyone you are related to. And even if it did, it doesn't belong to you, and it would be very improper of you to use it.
