What is the Mancuso family motto?

Question

My last name is Mango, and supposedly the coat of arms/family crest that is stems from is Mancuso. I can't seem to find the motto, though. Any help?

Answer 1

It is unlikely that the motto on a coat of arms of someone that you share your name with, is also your family motto, if your own family  had a coat of arms you would already know what the motto is. You cannot assume that you are entitled to use a coat of arms belonging to someone else, even if you have the same name as them, you must first prove your family tree, using documentary and other forms of records, to trace your family history back to the man who was originally granted the coat of arms, and then ask permission of the relevant authority to take up their use again.
