This is very interesting information for me. Where did you come about it? Did you draw the crest yourself or did you acquire it from some other place?
Thanks for any information, and especially for this crest if it’s your creation.

Carlos,
My father has been collecting heraldry information since he was 16 years old. So he has a pretty good amount of heraldry information. And we just got this great contributor that has donated more than 13 heraldry books to my father’s library. My father also creates the family crests. First he reads the blazon (which is the description of the arms in a family crest, and then he creates or looks for drawings in order to put together the family crests. About 3 years ago he got very ill and could not work so we got him a computer and he started to create the many elements of the family crests since then he has been blogging and posting family crests the SPANISH version of this blog has about 900 family crests published… go take a look. Thank you for your comments.

I understand my family originated in Portugal, gypsies. (actually, one male) came in to Mexico and then migrated north to Texas.
I was in Spain this summer and was able to get a keychain with the coag of arms. In it, the blue chain links actually go diagnolly. F
