Heraldry Research

For my heraldry research, I mainly wanted to check out what my family crest looked like. Being of Irish decent, it is common for families to have a crest. Although each crest I found differs from one another in small ways, they all tend to have similar elements. They all have the knights helmet, the crescent moon, the focal point of the lion stepping on or smashing the serpent, the Irish clovers, and of course the traditional ivy running up the sides of the shield.
