Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Coat of arms help - GARSED
« on: Friday 04 November 22 13:09 GMT (UK)  »
Seemed odd to me too - the date.  I have never see that come up before with my husbands family Garside/Garsed.  I've seen both spellings for his family.  They are mainly from Greetland/Elland area of Halifax in Yorkshire.

Can you describe, or attach a picture of, the Arms you say were "awarded to the Garsed family in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings and the loss of 3 sons".    One thing is certain, although the Arms may exist, they were not awarded in 1066 as Coats of Arms did not exist at that time, only coming in to use in the mid/late 1100s, and then not "awarded", just adopted ("assumed") by the gentry. That said, if you can describe the Arms we may be able to establish if there is a connection to the Yorkshire Garseds.

I'm curious about the Garsed Coat of Arms.  I have Garsed and Garside in my husbands tree and they are from Halifax/Elland in Yorkshire.  It came up as a "Hint" on my research tree for his line but haven't seen it before.  Was noted as "awarded to the Garsed family in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings and the loss of 3 sons". 

How do I find out more information what line of Garsed this connects to.

It's so amazing.  just noticed looking at the full original photo - i think the little girl on the right side is holding a baby.  I wonder if that's the baby they talk about in the note!  I found a birth record in 1938 for a little girl - for Michael and Josephine.

So after a google search I came across a social media page for the town of Creutzwald.  Photos mostly of it and the families that lived there.  I posted the photo asking if anyone recognized it and low and behold a whole branch of new cousins!  Thank you so much for your help and I have lots more names/dates to add to my tree!

Side by side of the two I suspect are brothers.

If it's the family I think it is, it could be Michael Peiser born 1875 in Krefeld, Germany in the middle (their father?).  I haven't found much on him.  I'm descended from his older brother Peter Carl Peiser born 1865 and his wife Elisabeth Krucken.

I tried to do a close up.  Not sure how much better it is.

I'm going to see if I can gently remove some more of the black from the back of the photo.  I looked at the plaque on the front with a magnifying but it's still quite blurry. I'll see if I can scan at a higher resolution.  I'm gathering it's the photographer's information?

Thank you for the translations!
