Is the family crest and coat of arms the same thing?
No. For one thing, there is no such thing as a family crest (this is a modern idea used by fraudulent research people hoping to dupe gullible and ignorant people) and in any case a crest is not the same as the coat of arms.An individual who is granted heraldry, usually as a result of being awarded a knighthood, will be given a legal heraldic document providing proof of it. This legal evidence has been in place since the end of the medieval period. The document includes a "blazon", a technical description in Anglo-Norman French of all the parts of the heraldry: the coat of arms (that is, the design on the shield), the heraldic supporters, the motto, the helm, the mantling and crest.The crest was originally a device placed on top of the helmet in the late medieval period; it can be all kinds of things but is usually not connected in any way with the coat of arms. In more modern times a drawing of the crest was often used as a letterhead or as a design on a carriage or car door.Nobody other than the legal owner of that heraldry can claim any entitlement to it. In England, Wales and Scotland it is a serious offence in law to do so. In the case of a hereditary knighthood, the title and the heraldry is passed on the the eldest son, then his eldest son and so on. Nobody else in the same family or with the same name can make any claim to that heraldry without committing an offence.For a diagram explaining the parts of the overall heraldry, see link below:
