Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 My fourth great grandfather was Count Conrad Waltman. He immigrated from Bavaria in 1738. His parents were Count Valentine Waltman and Countess Barbara Frundsberg Waltman. I hear there is a family crest but I haven't found it so far. My kids used to call me "The Royal Hiney". lolhugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

And to elaborate, since it is Fitz- WITH a hyphen, it means "from the right side of the blanket" (in other words, a legitimate son), if you see it without a hyphen, it means bastard son (i.e. Fitzwilliam, Fitzgerald, Fitzwhatever) My family does descend directly from , in this case the Conqueror (a.k.a. the bastard, not because of his birth, because of his actions) . I am entitled to the Family Crest and the Family tartan. There is also a Fitz- college in Cambridge. So now you know BTW I also have a Family Crest on the other side of my family (father), his comes from Berengario Jorda, who fought to gain the islands (Balearic) and was awarded the crest, which has two lions rampant above 3 melons. The lions were for his bravery in the fight and the melons because the area he captured had melon fields. My great-great-great-great grandmother was also the Countess of Onate, and you can still see her palace in Madrid (I believe it is now a government building) She lost her "royalty" when she married a commoner. *sigh* so now you know. My ugly secret is exposed.... Actually, there IS an ugly side to it. Acoma, the oldest inhabited city in the US, was subject to invasion by Spanish Conquistadores, chief among them was one who also sported the surname Jorda. *sigh*  ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ http://www.affiliates-natural-salt-lamps.com/pages/156.php -- Winter!
