The new Family Crest (Alliance Crest)
As we all know, my
Great-great-great-Last ancestor was
robber barons.
The name Bickelhaupt is through the family tree
documented and confirmed.
I am proud of the crest,i
With Larry is it totally
different.
As we know there were no such called
Robber Barons in America
Nevertheless, the Woods family has a
"Family Crest" or
"Coat of Arms“
Anyway, it was a challenge to me to bring both crests
together. I was proud of my family history - and Larry
too.
Since 1994,
this project run around in my head. Sometimes more,
sometimes less. Old records from my PC prove the many
efforts to bring the two crests together. Then I got
very deep in the matter “heraldry” and out came the
Alliance Crest
And
that is haw the new Alliance Crest developed:
Woods = The
family name means in other words Wutz Hessian pig. For
this reason I decided on the ridge (often referred to as
the neck or crown) the animal must be a pig. But it
should be 2, because it is not only female and male
united in the coat of arms, indeed 2 different
nationalities. Of course also 2 different colors. The
colors were chosen according to the harmony of the whole
picture. That the pigs make a combative impression is
desired. Two worlds (German and American) collide and
there were not always peace, but also struggle.
The two horses,
or rather, Pegasus, I have chosen, because of the
intoxicating mythology. Pegasus was the child of the sea
god Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa. This is reflected
somehow in my character again. I love the water and
Medusa shares a little bit my life. Medusa was once very
beautiful. But the beauty has been transformed into a
monster by the goddess Athena because of her love to
Poseidon. But here we are again common. Medusa's hair
turned into snakes. In the Chinese horoscope, my sign is
the snake.
The blue flower
Pagasus carries in his mouth, is the symbol of romance
and stands for love or for metaphysical quest for the
infinite. Then come the two arms of the family. The
order was again elected for harmony. In
Bandarole are the names of two Crests. And again the
combination of colors was chosen to come up with the
result of a well-rounded picture
