Dad appeciates such commnts! The Beierschmitt amily does not have a crest, per se. It is my understanding that many German families took the crest (Wappen) of the town they lived in for identification purposes, as opposed to creating family ones. Towards the end, we have the Wapens of Bierengen, and Berlichengen in our home. I will double check with Dad on this and post back to confirm one ay or another!
Nice to hear from a relative! I do recognize the spelling of you name and have heard of Dad mentioning it before.
