magdalena robinson Whow!! Ok now I am totaly confuced. How do I find out wich one is my family one? Please help. I can't just choose one. I will always wonder if this was the correct one. Stephen Robinson moved from Yorkshire to Surrey after he married Ann Grentree. he was born in 1750 in Thornton, Yorkshire, England. I can't find out who his parent were and where there parent originated from. Any sugestions where to start looking?

Jeff, Geni Curator Based on the country and location, the likely coat of arms is the green with a gold chevron between three gold stags, the crest being a gold stag emerging from a crown. It was first found in Yorkshire, where a John Richard Robunson was on record in 1324 in the Court Rolls of the manor of Wakefield, and a Thomas Robynson was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax returns of 1379. Some of the first settlers in America of this family name or some of its variants were: John Robinson, who immigrated to Virginia in 1606; Isaac and Bridget Robinson, who arrived in Plymouth in 1629; Alister, Charles, James, and Daniel Robinson, who all settled in Boston in 1651.
Looks like the moto is "Foi est tout", which I translate is "Faith is All". Another Robinson moto from Yorkshire reads "Virtute, non verbis", meaning "By virtue, not by words". The colors, green represents hope, loyalty in love and gold represents generosity.

Such family crest / coat of arms web sites can usually perform research if you want a more verified association. I think most crests were made for a specific person, as a form of identification, so using an older crest from that location makes it more likely you're a descendent of that person. More recent crests can be closer to your line but require, of course, more research to identify the ancestor link. You could be descendent from multiple crests in such a case. The red with gold leafs on the side is also from England. You can even create your own official crest and have it registered.
