Curwen -- c-o-a

Thank you again, Michael.

Can you see my red face?

I did NOT know once a crescent, always a crescent, so I've learned something
new.

I appreciate your patience. And I thank you.

Best, BarBara

I'm not sure what you are referring to since you have not quoted it, but
suspect it is about some perceived need to add differences to arms and
then to maintain them for ever more.

In England there is no such need. I have various documents from the
College of Arms which explicitly allow the same undifferenced arms by
people who are distant cousins. Further the heraldic textbooks on
English practice also explicitly deny a formal need to add difference
marks.

Scotland, however is different, differences are to be maintained. I
have no idea about other countries.
