mcfarland dot coza

Oh no...another one of my friends has succumbed to the blogging habit. Yes it is extremely addictive and easier to push than coke......heh heh I love his poke at Telkom....couldn't have put it better myself. The monkey picture, might be relatives of mine.....wait I should phone them.....maybe they will fix my phone quicker...eeerrr oh yeah my phone's broken.

He has started a family site, mcfarland.co.za, and in the corner he has his family coat of arms...which got me thinking...does monkeyboy have a coat of arms? And is it nicer than his. Well I just had to have a look and this is what I found out.

                           

	Mercer Family Crest              Motto : Crux Christi nostra corona (whatever!) Plaid :
	Mcfarland Family Crest Motto : This I'll defend (at least it's understandable) Tartan :

So it looks like the Mcfarlands got a better deal than the Mercers. They get an English family motto, cool colours (yellow on a coat of arms I ask you?), the little dude with his shirt off and to top it all, with the surname being of Scottish descent, they get a family tartan...do we?...NO...being of Geekish descent best I could Google up was a nice mercer plaid shirt! (Try it google for mercer and tartan.) Maybe I should have my coat of arms changed to pens and a calculator in a top pocket.

             

New Mercer Family Crest              Motto : Programme this we can! Plaid : No need to change that!

Young Padawan, within you the code is strong I sense.

I had a similar problem myself and just searched. No idea how correct this is, but I think I found the Mercer tartan.

Personally I think your new crest, etc works well!

Actually, we do have a tartan, you can see it @ http://www.scottishkilts.net/images/clanfinder/tartans285x260_sn/st27101.gif

And Crux Christi Nostra Corona means "Christ's cross is our crown" (not very neat in my humble opinion, being an atheist and all)
