The Haus Nesselrath and the Coat of Arms

Reading through the links that Angelika provided, here is the house that keeps popping up as the Haus Nesselrath and the Coat of Arms for same.





Here is the official description of the crest with the original German in parentheses:
The master Crest shows in red a silver exchange Peaks bar with the top four and bottom Three Peaks. (Auf dem Helm ist ein am Hals mit dem Zinnenbalken belegter roter Brackenrumpf.)
The helmet is a neck with the bar occupied Zinnen red Brack fuselage. (Die Helmdecken sind rot-silbern.)
The helmet covers are red and silver.

The hound is not mentioned, but as Angelika's post describes, meant that the family had hunting rights.

Remember the mantling that shows as a cape around the hound's shoulders was added AFTER Sardin had come to America.
