| Loftus Crest | |
 Mandy
Pemberton (Australia) sent this Crest she received from
her cousin in Sydney. It was offered to her by another person who
had done research in the past. The signature at the bottom is "NSA
Layton 1982" which appears to be the artist. The motto at the top
is "Loyal Au Mort (Latin for Loyal to Death) and the motto at the
bottom is in French, yet the Irish Shamrock is prevalent in the artwork.
Has anyone seen this crest before? |

| Loftus Crest Plaque | |
| Duane, I have no picture available, but my Aunt Mary Rita (who died last November) had a plaque with the Loftus crest on it. It is very similar to the crest described by James Loftus from Albuquerque except that the trefoils were simple crosses. The scalloped chevron was blank. By the way "Loyal Au Mort" means "Loyal to the Death" in French, so the crest may have a Norman origin. Yours truly, Jim Loftus |

| Loftus Crest Plaque | |
| Hi,
Duane. We have a plaque with the Loftus crest, just couldn't put a picture of it on the WWW. The one that Mandy Pemberton sent you is very close to the one we have. We have a description of it: ARMS: Sable a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent. (The chevron has three clovers on it, it is black with the clovers in white) CREST: A boar's head erect and erased argent armed or, langued gules. (There is a knights head in armor with a boars head erect [snout is pointing skyward]) MOTTO: Loyal Au Mort (Loyal to Death, Latin) I've had this crest for about 26 years. A friend of mine brought to me directly from Ireland. Courtesty James Loftus and the Albuquerque Cousin Contigent |

| Crest Interpretation | |
| Hi
There, here some news from a Lofthus in Belgium of Norwegian origins
(my father Jarle s. Lofthus is from Fauske Norway) I simply LOVE your site, I am as you all seem te be, very proud of the Lofthus name. I especially was glad to find the crest, I've been looking a long time without any result. The top desciption in not in French as it said in Lofthus Tidbits but in French and does mean Loyal to death. The bottom description I like the most, as it describes myself and it means: take me as I am (prend moi tel que je suis) also in French. I am going to be a regular visitor to your side, and will inform the rest of my family, as we all are very interested in our origins!!! Randi Lofthus |
