SYMBOL CHANGES

Since the early parts of 2012, there was suddenly a rash of Coat changes at houseofnames.com. I had been using the houseofnames directory of surnames extensively for several years previous to these changes, and rarely noted a change until 2012. Upon contacting the company, I was told that changes take place when they find earlier versions of the Coats, as they strive to use the earliest known symbols, colors.

This list, in alphabetical order, does not speak to all the changes I've seen (nor to changes I've not yet seen), but only those I was able to recall, and others as they were found over the years.


French Alans/Alliens (= proto-Stewarts) once showed ducklings, but now use red-on-white footless martlets. This was deemed a suitable change by me because Alans now show the FROME footless martins, useful for tracing "Alan" to "FORUM Allieni," the name of proto-Ferrara in 70 AD...about the time that Pharisees and Sadducees fled Jerusalem / Israel for fear of the invading Romans. I reckoned that "Ferrara" was named after "Pharisee," but didn't know until 2013 that Pharisees had merged with the proto-Alans in Forum Allieni. The leaves of the English Alans/AllanSHAWS are deemed by me as code for Levite liners. Eventually (2012), it was discovered that the Joseph surname (Hampshire) was in honor of Joseph Caiaphas (= the Biblical Caiaphas), and later still (in about March of 2013) it was learned online that the Joseph surname was born from one Henry Joseph (of Hampshire), which should explain why the Alan and Frome footless martlets are used, in the same red color, by the French Henry surname, first found in the same area (eastern Brittany) as where the Alans/Allanshaws operated in the 11th century.

The German Bach calf has changed to a bull called a "steer" in this case, but the colors are still the same. It would have been important that the calf be changed to this bull because I had been claiming repeatedly that the Bach calf, in gold, was code for the golden-calf idol of the Israeli Exodus (i.e. certain rulers knew at some point in their history that they traced to the Egyptian royals at the Biblical Exodus. As French Packs use a giant bull, I trace the Bachs to a Hyksos ruler, Apachnas. To make a long story short, historians have dated Hyksos 100-200 years later than they actually ruled. I put them at the time of the Exodus (15th century BC).

Danish Bauers had their leopard changed to a lion.

The German Belli/Ballie beacon, which I paired several times to the identical Fuller beacon, has changed design. Why? It's obvious from the three red-on-white bars of Italian Belli's that they and Fullers were related, and that because Fullers are expected from Fulbert de Falaise "the tanner", the three Moor heads of the Scottish Belli's are those of the Tanners (both surnames have their Moor heads in chief).

The Boso bull is now quartered red and white instead of fully white, and it's in a new design, now identical to the red Charo/Chiaro/Claro bull. The Joseph motto uses "charo" as code for the Charo's/Claro's. The Joseph garbs are used by Comyns/Comine's, and then the Conteville's ruled at a Comines location, indicating that Conteville's crossed paths with Caiaphas liners, thus revealing the basis of Templar formation by the Claro > Sinclair vikings and their ilk. Meschins descended from Malahule, brother of Rollo's father (Rollo was the one who agreed to the treaty of St. Clair sur Epte). Online we read: "The Sinclair family descends from the hermit St. Clare (also seen as St. Clere) who lived in a town now known as St. Clair sur l'Epte [near a La Falaise location], in the northwest of Paris." Epte and its river by the same name is in the Ile-de-France theater, where the Chappes and Levi surnames were first found. I say that the Chappes' were a Caiaphas line, and then it's known that Hugh de Payens, of a Pagan surname that I trace to "APACHNas," had married a woman Elizabeth de Chappes, though others say he married Catherine Sinclair. Hugh was the first grand master of the first nine Templars at Jerusalem. They had nothing to do with Jesus, but were descended from the priests who killed Jesus; this has been my personal discovery thanks be to what I think was a major undertaking by God through some of my readers and myself (spoken humbly). There are Sinclair-loving tools out there who insist that the first Templars descend from a son of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Hugh de Payens was succeeded by Robert de Craon, and then the Craon/Craun Crest uses a so-called "hind," as does the Irish Shaw/Shay/Sheaves Crest. Enter "Craon" in the box here to see "hind" and, instead of a collar around the hind's neck, a crown that traces to the Ceraunii Illyrians. Ignore the white-washed depictions of Templars as though they were deeply-committed Christians.

The Botter eagle was changed in both design and color, but not changed in position. It was once brown on gold, but is now red on gold.

The Irish Brian lions were once showing in the design used by Oxfords, but then the latter changed their design too to match the Irish-Alternative lion. There have been countless design changes (of sumbols) without color or positional changes. But why?

English Bush/Busche fesse changed from red-on-gold or gold-on-red to black-on-white. The design of the black Bush boars has also changed. This is one of a very few Coats that changed quite some time before 2012, and I deemed it a good change as it helped to link Bush's to Cliffs and Fisks, and therefore to suggest a "fiscal cliff" scam under president Bush. Much to this day is named in secret after cherished Masonic bloodlines. An ancient book (the book of Enoch, if I recall correctly) claimed that the black boar was a symbol of Edom, and then the capital of Edom was BOZrah, for which reason Bush's/Boschs / Bushers should trace to a peoples that retained "Boz" in their historical names.

The two German Dallen pine trees, showing once as the one used by Constance's, changed to two oak trees, important if the surname is from "D'Allen," for English Allens use oak leaves.

The Ector sun changed in size from filling the entire Shield to very small.

Enders/Ingers now show red arrows instead of white.

The Este Crest was once the same as the Bute-Crest horsehead, but the Este Crest was changed to a full-blown horse.

Gale's (share blue unicorn with TINTs) are now said to be first found in Yorkshire whereas they were previously said to be first in Cornwall with TintaGEL, location of king Arthur's birth. The Gale unicorn was once fully blue. Gale's (share Nail/Nagle saltire) were kin of Nagle's (nightinGALE), from Arthur-like ARDuinici of Oneglia.

Gas'/Gasts once showed a duck, but now show a goose, a term much like the surname. Gas'/Gasts share the Chief of French Alans who once showed ducks.

French Gobels (use the Macey Shield) once showed the Masci wing design, very important for tracing Gobels to "Goplo," the origins of Mieszko I of Poland. The Gobel wing has changed to the same design now used by Chaine's/Chenays...after the latter surname showed the white Masci wing. The Chaine/Chenay wing and sword design is in the same colors as previously, with both the wing and sword design changed only slightly. The sword was previously perfectly erect, and longer. The erect sword was an ancient symbol of Ares that was used by the Bistones of north Africa (8th-7th century BC), in the area of eastern Libya (= Cyrene) where the Meshwesh/Mazyes (or Amazighen) once ruled. Note that while Meschins lived and ruled in the Boii-suspect Bessin (Normandy), the sword design of the Bessins/Beastons (first found in Cheshire) is like the erect sword of the Biston surname. No coincidences, proving that Meschins and Masci's were from the Amazighen as they merged with Bistones liners. One of the first nine Templars was Geoffrey Bison, and then the Bison surname is registered with the Bistons. Massey-branch Mackays have an erect arm holding an erect dagger.

The giant French Joseph swan was changed to a footless martlet in the same colors.

The gold-on-gold Kinner bird is no longer the gold bird design used in the English Kay Crest, important because mythical Kay (of king-Arthur cult), son of mythical Cyner, was code for the Kay surname (key symbol) that honors the Kinders (and probably Kinns too) in its motto. The Kays traced to the Shawia/Chouui Berbers of Numidia, who became the Shaw/Sheaves surname ("qui" motto term), themselves from the Italian Sheaves/Chiava's who use keys in honor of the Key variation of the Kays. The Chiapponi variation of the Sheaves/Chiava's was found to be a line from "Caiaphas," the name of the chief priest of Israel under whom Jesus was murdered. This is what Templarism > Freemasonry is secretly about.

The Masci wing design, and hundreds of other wings, were changed as if the people at houseofnames have nothing better to do with their time and money. There was nothing wrong or displeasing with the original wing designs, and the new designs aren't more attractive. One of the two white wings has become gold. At first, the two Masci wings were not attached to the bend, but they are now, in accordance with the official write-up telling that the wings are "conJOINed" to the bend. The fact that Joiners look like related to both the Mackay and Macey/Mace Coats tends to show that Mackays were not Kay, but Maceys.

The horizontal Massar/Massai ground/border shape between the green and the white of the Shield was changed after I linked it to a surname (can't recall which) using the same. What purpose could the heraldry company have had for merely changing the shape of that ground, which by the way is called a "mound" but not showing as a mound?

French Masseys once showed boots, as code, along with the Vey boot, for mythical Morgan le Fay of Avalon = Bute. The nine witches of Avalon, with Morgan le Fay as the chief witch, were apparently the writer's play on the nine Muses of the Greeks. It's no coincidence that the Muses were ruled by Avalon-like Apollo. Apollonia was a real city beside Aulon/AVLONa (northern Epirus).

Mackesy/Margeson and Mackie/Margy surnames are obviously of one family, explaining why they showed the same lion design, until after I mentioned it several times, afterwhich the Mackesy/Margeson lion was changed (retaining the same position, however). The Mackie/Margy lion has not changed (as of mid-2014).

The three Peacock mascles (hollow diamonds) changed colors but retained their gold roundels. The mascles were definitely inside red on gold roundels for years.

The Presley grappling hook was changed to an grappling iron, with a different design even. The Irons list Hirams (trace excellently to island of Arran) are perhaps honored in the Arundel motto.

Rothes. For ten years until now (2019), Rothes' were first found in Shropshire, which clinched them with Peter Pollock's father in Shropshire. Peter built Rothes castle. Shropshire is no longer mentioned in the Rothes write-up.

Sabina's (English) no longer come up as such, but still show as Saffins.

The black Salford wolf design (erect = rampant) no longer shows the passant wolf (on three legs).

The Sion/Swan chevron (in Falcon colors) once showed the Macey gauntlet gloves. It now shows "falconer's gloves." French Josephs used the swan.

German Trips once showed the boots exactly (colors included) of French Masseys/Massa's, but neither now show them, and the Trips have turned them into shoes.

The Valen/Falen/Valence ducks were changed to three red martlets, even as the ducks of French Alans were changed to red martlets.
