SignUp Now!Sure have. Coats of arms have symbolism in them going back to the tribes of Israel. That symbolism is typically tied to the symbolism in the Bible used for each tribe. It gets really interesting.
The royal coat of arms has the Lion which represents Judah and a unicorn representing Joseph and the lost tribes.
*Random find.

~"On the basis of their observations and calculations, the Babylonians divided the sky into twelve areas, each of which was assigned a figure, a name, and a specific meaning. This became the zodiac with its twelve zodiac signs such as Aries, Gemini, Virgo, or Leo."~
So far just what I've been finding in association with the general topic. Haven't looked into them specifically yet.I haven’t seen this, very interesting.
Have you run into the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh and who they are yet?

A precursory investigation suggests there is something significant being concealed regarding Ephraim & Manasseh.You’ll probably just stumble into it like I did.
I'm going to read all that tomorrow. Ty you Fiend*Continued:

I've made progress tracing ancestral lines back from 3 of 4 grandparents, and just can't seem to find anything at all about 1, ie: my hybrid New Merican grandma.
No birth records, no baptism records, no marriage records, no nothin'...c'ept a single photo from around '42-'44.
•G-grandfather(*unidentified US Marine)+ infant grandmother('42-'44).

Any ideas on how to identify my great grandfather?
There must be some US Military archives that would still have records on personnel stationed in NZ between '42-'44?
•G-G-grandfather.

Thanks man! Appreciated!Couple of clarifying questions.
Do you know your Grandmas maiden name did you mean New Mexican?
*Yes sir, that is correct.You don’t know your great grandfathers name but he was stationed in NZ.
*Yeah, absolutely no names at all so far.Do you at least have a last name?
Is that correct?
Thanks man! Appreciated!
•Maiden name: *O'DONNELL
(*Her mother's > NZ husband's surname)
1. My branch:
(*not O'DONNELL)

2. Grandma's branch:
(*O'DONNELL)
View attachment 218620
*And yeah nah, I meant; 'New Merican'...
*Yes sir, that is correct.
*Note: At the time of grandma's conception, her mother (*my great-grandma O'DONNELL) was legally married & had several children to a kiwi soldier (*O'DONNELL) who was deployed in either North Africa, Europe or the Pacific theaters.
*Yeah, absolutely no names at all so far.
*Note: My mother loves virtue signaling about her & her mother's Sioux ancestry from her mother's (*my grandma's) father.
*Note #2: My mother always kept tight-lipped about any useful information though—and that includes the entire immediately related family members on her side too. (*even now, as an adult, whenever I ask, they get all twitchy & secretive, very obviously and collectively concealing something about grandma's existence.)
*I have managed to contact an aunt yesterday (*a grand daughter of the US soldier) over on a new FB account, and messaged her asking if she knew anything... however, I logged in this morning to find my account suspended already...(ffs!)
*Also started scanning through any images I can find online from 1940s NZ.
For all I know he could even be one of these young lads:

Wonder how many of these young US men and NZ women were cheating on their spouses right here aye...
Apparently there were so many illegitimate children conceived out of wedlock throughout the Oceanic/Pacific, during the '40s the phenomena warranted a definition, termed: 'War Babies'.

Apologies mate, I genuinely can't tell if you're joking.I need to learn about New Merica, never heard of it.
Hey no worries at all man. I still appreciate you.Darn, there goes my idea. Your only option may be to do like a 23 and me or something like that to find relatives in the US then start checking surnames in the military archives or reaching out to relatives.
Friend of mine found out who her real father was using the testing. Of course, she had no clue her dad was actually her step dad. She reached out to her half siblings but they were rude and didn’t want to talk at all. This all happened right after her mom passed away.
Fuck... I've only just clicked and realized what all these Coats of Arms/Heraldic shit is about.Anyone know about this shit.

This realization came about while going through adding fancy frames to relatives wikitree avatars.Fuck... I've only just clicked and realized what all these Coats of Arms/Heraldic shit is about.
Its basically an antiquated genealogical categorization system.
More or less created for visually indicating ancestry along with social status & any achievements.
Apparently the USMC-(particularly 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Battalions)-rotated through the *lower north island US military camps during '42-'44, while the northern camps were primarily occupied by US Army.I need to learn about New Merica, never heard of it.

I am sorry, I do not see anything of significance, other than the fact that he has a full beard, which might indicate pre WW1....but hard to say. Sorry I cannot be of better help.Yo @weaponoffreedom
Whenever you have a moment, could you please take a good look over this image of my G-G-Grandfather with your militarily attuned eye to see if you can spot anything at all, with which might be a potential lead for figuring out his identity.
@TheFiendI am sorry, I do not see anything of significance, other than the fact that he has a full beard, which might indicate pre WW1....but hard to say. Sorry I cannot be of better help.
Ya know, as... exceptionally frustrating as it is, I like this somewhat robotic quality about you aye man.@TheFiend
Did I miss something, some underlying meaning in the picture? I did not read much of the thread, so why the "eye roll"?
I do not much care of someone's opinions of me, especially online......."honestly".That thing you do is almost, butt definitely knot quite, like purely and objectively rational honesty... primarily simply due its lacking any explicit admission for not actually giving even a fraction of a singular fuck about other's shitcicles
Jfc that unsettling, butt eye like it!I do not much care of someone's opinions of me, especially online......."honestly".
But in real life, I am a good friend, kind of.
