Migration of the TOPETE's

The migration of the TOPETE family is colorful. Our unique surname is Old World and we have traveled the world. It is interesting to note that there are migration patterns and we will look into these in their correponding historical contexts.

For now though, let it suffice to say that our ancestors were of the seafaring kind. Look at the above shield for the clue. Notice those blue wavy things? They look like water huh? There will be a more formal explanation in the Coat of Arms page which explains the technicalities, formalities, rules and so on regarding each of the verified family crests. The waves represent water, in our case we are talking about the oceans. The five arrows represent military weapons thus we get a naval military family. The migration pattern of our TOPETE ancestors should be interesting, very interesting.....
