Family emblems, sheilds.....?

Question

I am looking for pictures or graphics of family name emblems or shields ... more specifically for the last name 'Castillo'. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Not all families have coats of arms, even if they share the same name as someone who does. This is especially true if a name is particularly common or has common origins, such as "Castillo" which just means "castle".

People can send you any given link that they want but the fact of the matter is you have to prove male-line descent from a bearer of any "Castillo" coats of arms in order to be entitled to them yourself.

Be very, very wary of websites claiming that they can sell you "your" coat of arms.

Answer 3

Try searching heraldry, then the name in their own search.  You may have to specify Spanish heraldry.

I've found it before.  It isn't hidden too deep.
