I would advise you to to step back from the the rain of well-meaning advice and just concentrate on what Peter Harling said:Personally ... I would reconstruct the Seefeldt coat of arms by adding 'differences' (these will be explained to you if you decide on this route), the new coat of arms can reflect the family traditions of Seefeldt connection and your son would be able to pass this new coat down to future generations with pride!
A number of our members would be able and willing to undertake this for you.
Elaine: I would merely reiterate what I said a while ago and underline Peter Harling's good advice, which is well grounded in heraldic practice.
