What does the sykora family coat of arms look like?
C of A’s were given to individuals, not families. The oldest legitimate son inherits it. If your dad had one and you are the O.L.S., ask him. There are dozens of merchants willing to sell you a C of A for $29.99 and up. What you get is a C of A that was once issued to someone with your surname, probably. He may or may not be related to you, especially if your surname is “Smith”, “Miller” or “Carpenter”. They make more money of they can sell to more people; hence the myth. (A man has a C of A and three sons. They each have three sons, etc. Six generations down, there are 2,187 men out there with the original surname.
