The Cotnoir Connection: In the Beginning.....

In the Beginning.....

I am writing to inform everyone in this wonderful family,
we are in the beginning stages of planning the next

Cotnoir Family Reunion that will take place in summer of 2012!

We want to make sure each family has a chance to vote on what they would like to experience at the next family reunion. We are ironing out a few small details and will be contacting you soon. We need your input, it is important to us! I am currently creating a survey to figure out what dates, times and price ranges are comfortable for everyone. I'll post a link on the Cotnoir Connection Facebook page when the survey is ready. After I meet with Aunt Anna Mae for some much needed advice, I'll be in touch with Tammy, Tanya and Amy to compile the survey questions. We want this to be a well thought out party.

For updates and info, be sure to follow the Facebook page. It will keep you up to date with all the happenings for the next fun filled family reunion!

Also, if you would like to help out, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Love You All,
The 2012 Reunion Committee

Shield Each element of the shield is listed in the blazon. Each element has it's own meaning. I've listed the items below along with the meanings.-------------------------The Cross signifies Faith, Christianity and Service in the Crusades. It's red color signifies a warrior or martyr.-------------------------5 Gold Scallop shells signifies a traveller to far places. The Golden color signifies generosity and elevation of the mind.Traditionally, 5 scallop shells were granted to families who sent members to the Holy Land for Pilgrimage or to take part in a Crusade. The scallop shell has long been associated with the Christianity and is used in the baptismal rites.-------------------------The Off White (white/silver) background of the shield signifies peace and sincerity.-------------------------CrestThe Ox sits on top of the helm as the crest. It signifies valor and generosity.-------------------------HelmThe helmet is not a predefined item in the coat of arms. The artist can use whatever they feel fit. I used the helmet of a crusader for obvious reasons.-------------------------WreathThe wreath is also not a part of the blazon. If added it should contain six alternately colored bands. The colors consist of the main color, red and the metal, silver.I've already mentioned the meaning of these colors above.-------------------------MantleThe mantle is an ornamental part of the coat of arms. It is not described in the blazon and it's looks is left up to the artist.-------------------------I hope you all enjoy my version of the family Coat of Arms! I wish I could find the actual blazon listed somewhere!
