Does Anyone Know How to Find Your Family Crest?

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a place where I could find my family crest. The only problem is that my last name is Norton, and I'm pretty sure that there are thousands of them. Ancestry.com doesn't do any of that kind of stuff, so do any of you know where I can find it?

Update:

The first answer does not help me! It's of Scottish and Irish decendants(I don't have red hair)! I'm English and need and English Crest. I think it may have had a crow on it, but I am not sure.

    Wow, I can't believe you just asked this question. I am searching out the same thing. I would love to find my family crest but I do not want to pay for one that I can't prove is mine. I hope you get a good answer to your question.

    Check out the geneology library that the L.D.S. church has. It is very comprehensive regardless of your religion. Go back far enough and hopefully you will find the area where the birth record for the norton you're looking for was written.

    As the person above posted, if you search the key words there are a number of sites where you can find that kind of info.
