With modern grants or matriculations of arms it’s possible to register your genealogy and the evidence submitted has to stand up to legal scrutiny. However the genealogy will be restricted to a direct descent or simply there won’t be any branches. The last three examples provide a very rare if not unique case. Here the son was adopted so carried what is called a “canton voided” which means a stranger in blood –in that he wasn’t of the blood line. However later his origin was traced and his blood line was that of Stewart so the canton now carried the Stewart chequy of azure and white.
