Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

Best wishes raquolt

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

000

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

Best wishes raquolt

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

Best wishes raquolt

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

Dear Mr President

The Journal Herald a daily newspaper in my Congressional District published a front page story on Monday March 6 which you might find of interest

The account relates to a branch of your family which apparently resided in Warren County Ohio located in the Miami Valley region Since the information is new and has not appeared elsewhere to my knowledge I thought you would like to have the clipping which I am pleased to enclose

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant

CRESTS AND MOTTOES

Although the majority of the coats of arms on this scroll carry with them crests and mottoes it was not possible to illustrate them Coats of Arms ordered from this scroll to be blazoned on our plaques will automatically bear the relevant crest and motto

NIXON

Nixon is numerous in Ulster especially in Counties Antrim and Fermanagh

The most notable immigrant family of the name settled in Co Fermanagh in 1609

Fifty years later we find Nixson listed in Pettys census as a principal name

in two baronies of that county No doubt more than one Englishman of the name

settled in other counties in the seventeenth century there are for example

three Nixons in the Co Tipperary hearth money rolls of 1665 Testators of the

name are numerous in the Prerogative wills from 1677 to 1811 27 are Nixon of

which ten were of Co Fermanagh or neighbouring Ulster counties and nine of Dublin

as Nickson six of the nine are of Co Wicklow In Griffiths Valuation (1853)

there are five Nixons in Co Wicklow Of similar derivation is Nix (ie son of

Nicholas or Nick) gaelice Mac Niocais a patronymic adopted by some families of

Woulfe in Co Limerick The Registrar-Generals report of 1909 indicates that at

that time Woulfe and Nix were in the Newcastle Co Limerick district used

synonymously while in another case they were combined to make the surname loulfe-Nix

HERALDRY Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms Coats of Arms and other heraldic and armorial insignia and is of very ancient origin A full Coat of Arms consists of the main Arms with a Crest overhead (above the Helmet as depicted on shields) and a Motto underneath These badges of distinction were the reward of personal merit and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest They are today the testimonials and warrants of bravery heroism and meritorious deeds of our ancestors

SVMBOLS There is no specific meaning or explanation now available for the various designs and insignia used in Heraldry The origin of most of these is now obscure These have been evolved down the centuries by the Heralds when Arms were being granted their number being added to as more Arms came into use The principal heraldic devices in use may be taken from Animals Birds Reptiles Insects Trees Plants Flowers Celestial Objects (Sun Stars) and Monsters The latter are bizarre and fantastic creatures drawn from classical and medieval mythology

CREST AND MOTTO Variations are often found in the Crest and Motto used by various branches of the one family and sometimes no record of crest or motto can be traced They may have been in use in ancient times but with the passing of the centuries they were 01itted and forgotten

SPELLING OF SURNAMES Various forms of spellings for the same basic name may be in use These variations have

arisen through changing the original form of spelling for personal or other reasons or to shorten or simplify a difficult spelling or to render pronunciation easier This applies particularly to numerous names of Irish and Continental European origin (Customers own spelling of name is usually applied to Heradic Wall Shields)

IRISH HERALDIC SCROLL

This authentic Irish scroll illustrates 761 coats of arms in full heraldic colours These illustrations represent the coats ofarms of761 basic Irish names which with their modem derivations represent a total of almost 2000 modem Irish names It will be appreciated that whilst coats of arms have remained unchanged for the past five or six hundred years names and spellings of names have changed considerably throughout the world

COUNTY ARMS

The arms illustrated for the thirty two counties of Ireland are the arms recorded In a few cases where no record of a County arms exist the general practice of using the arms of the principal town has been followed

HOW TO FIND YOUR COAT OF ARMS

The numbered squares represent and are a smaller replica of the coloured shields therefore it must be remembered that a number will not be beside the arms it represents

The line of numbers next to coloured shields represents the line of coloured shields next to the celtic border etc

Find your name on index (number follows the name ie Cunningham 591) Find your number in numbered squares Count the number of squares down from top or up from bottom whichever is the shorter Count the number of squares from the nearest side either left or right Now repeat the process counting from the same end and same side on the coloured shields

border and this will show your coat of arms For example Cunningham 591 is 4 lines from the bottom and 22 across from left hand side

viz a white background with a black shakefork between three black stars Burke 363 is 27 down and two from the right hand side viz a yellow background with a red cross and in the top comer a black lion rampant
