The Schmeck Coat of Arms was shown in the book I list at the bottom of the post. I did not copy the photo, thinking it would be easy to find online. I was wrong - I cannot find it online.
The design was half blue, half yellow, with a red bird.

"One record says about c171 and states Alsace Tp Berks county Pa. Another says about 1720 in Germany, died in Elsass top. But it is my belief that he was older, maybe 10-15 years older, Although I have no proof yet." Page V
