Original coats of arms were awarded to individuals and in most cases can only be inherited by the first son of the first son, etc. One family surname may have several crests, depending on how many individuals were given crests. Your line of descent and position in the family will determine whether you are able to claim the arms. As I understand it, anyone can design and register a family crest. Check out the heraldry sites on the internet for more info.
