Although it is possible to research heraldry (perhaps several different coats of arms) for specific people with the name Kenyon, these coats of arms will definitely not apply to anyone else with the same surname. In most parts of Europe heraldry has always been allocated along with a knighthood; both the title and the heraldry will in certain circumstances be handed on through the male line via the eldest son - but nobody else even in the same family can claim that heraldry. If there is no son, the title and the heraldry simply die out.

If Olympic cyclist Bradley Wiggins receives a well-deserved knighthood he will also be officially allocated heraldry: a coat of arms, heraldic supporters, motto and crest - but nobody else named Wiggins will ever have any legal right to that heraldry - exactly the same as in medieval times.

What is the German family crest?

You will have to research your family history to find the crest for your particular family, if there is one. Beware of the multitude of family crest websites available. They do little research and chances are that you will get a coat of arms that is completely made up or false. If you are in a hurry, do an internet search for "Boser coat of arms." At least five different coats of arms will be found. That suggests that at least five families had rights to arms, or that several people have fanciful ideas of what should be a coat of arms for this family.
