For those families that survived the journey, all three of these things were often attained through much hard work and perseverance.

Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Nil Conscire Sibi Motto Translation: Conscious of no Wrong.
