			WOW! I have mine (O'Connor) but it's pretty boring! This is awesome! Nice of you, Roger!
			The Johnson fought along side the Donovan's Roger, as did the McCarthy's. I have the whole history. I know what your crest means as well. And thank you, from all of us, My whole family.
			Do you know the meaning of the ship? Thanks for the link to your self portrtait! GMTA! Wonderful! Now I am going to have to post the O'Connor "Tree of Life" (Oak tree). I may look for another version, the one I have may be simplified although I have it from three sources and they are all much the same! :)

The white background is for peace and sincerity, the red design symbolizes clouds or air—or heaven. The clouds mean mystery. The Castle means you provide safety. The ship means your family was known for successful sea voyages. And the black cross in this case means a family who has conquered and received military honors. Read these symbols as you may, but be proud of them Roger…they were ea

			The O'Connors fought along side the johnson's and the donovans as well. Only about 10 clans versus 100's of other irish clans did so. Our ancestors were "in the trenches" together.
			I know, your crest: The O’Connorcoat is not boring, it is about “Life” and all the great mystical connections of the earth with heaven. They were great sages.
