My Irish Lineage

This is my family Crest, or Coat of Arms. This crest was used to represent my Irish family when they were immigrating in the early to mid 1800s. The family trade was barrel making. Just think it's interesting. I tried to find my family's polish crest, but had some trouble. My great-great-grandmother immigrated from poland during the Holocaust, escaping from a concentration camp I believe. It helps me to appreciate my family more. This is just my father's side.

My mother's side somewhere along the line, runs into Cherokee and Spanish decent. And I believe we're some how related to the Dickens line (as in Charles Dickens), but don't know for sure. But it's all still pretty cool!
