This picture
of the Goswick Family Crest
does
not have a copyright on it.
Several
of our Goswick family members have
this
family crest picture.
Altho
this crest has the surname of Goswick on it,
It is
the crest of Sir John Gostwick
of Bedfordshire,
England and dates back to
1543.
To date,
1998 I have not found that the Goswicks of
America
descend from Sir John Gostwick of England.

Note below is from Steve
I found my Gostwick lineage by accident the other day, since then I'd
also
found your page, made a trip to my public library, found a description
of the
arms for Sir William Gostwick and drawn them. I hope that you
like, please
find attached.
