Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Help with identifying my family's Crest/Coat of Arms
« on: Tuesday 06 November 18 21:20 GMT (UK) »
First of all, as I am new to this forum, I want to say hello.
Getting to the point - I am a descendant of a Kelm family, living in Poland, but probably of German/Prussian origin, although I also know from my father, that his father told stories about family roots ultimately reaching to Sweden. Neither I or my father know any more details, besides the unverified information that we come from a noble family.
Sadly, that's basically all I have, and until now I didn't succesfully track my roots deep enough to verify the information.
BUT. There is a page from a heraldry book (dropbox links attached), passed in my family from father to son, depicting a crest/coat of arms. Can anyone please try to help me verify what country does it come from? Is it a real one or a fake? What book is it, that it comes from? Those questions bother me for years, I really hope I can find any track I could follow.
Sorry for my English, it's far from perfect, and if I messed up something with posting rules -sorry again. I would greatly appreciate any help.
