Here’s a quick look at some of the family crests and coat of arms that have been circulating through the Scherschel descendancy across the generations. The official crest titled “The Cooper and The Steed” is the bicentennial crest for Scherschel descendants in North America since 1837. 2037 will mark two centuries of the Scherschel family on North American shores. Two former crests were created for Alfred Eugene Scherschel and Paul William Scherschel, Jr. over the past fifty years. And the final coat of arms depicted here represents the branch of the Scherschel descendant line that came from Temeswar, Hungary. Ancestrally, the Temeswar Scherschel ancestors were part of the group of Banat (or Danube) Swabian Germans that settled in Hungary from Alsace-Lorraine and western Germany.
