Hi Terry,

I didn't post the coat of arms, that is not my thing. However I see a comment there that says Hamilton of Broomhill coat of arms. http://www.roskildehistorie.dk/stamtavler/adel/svenske/Hamilton/Broomhill.htm which gives a bit of history about the coat of arms and it is the same as the one you propose. Looking at it I can see the difference to the one that is on the profile. Like I said coats of arms etc are really not my thing so I will try to swap them around. I think that worked, maybe the reference is not right but ..... JH
