Even the shield's overall shape --from round to square and all other variations --holds meaning. There is usually a motto stamped or engraved prominently on the crest. Each of these elements represent character traits that the family is known for, such as strength, wisdom, leadership, agility and resilience. We want you to research your family crest or design a new one for your family. Below is an example of a family crest, in fact, here are some of our teachers crests:Task 3As a young historian you must understand that everything has a meaning.
