I could not find a picture of my actual family crest. It is shaped like a generic shield and colored yellow. There are three black nails on it, with the head of the nail at each of the three points on the shield. All three black nails meet in the middle with their points touching. The name Nagle is of German decent, and translates to "nails" in German. The surname Nagle was of occupational origin, which means it is based on the occupation of the man at the time. This was before there was a system of surnames like there is today. The person who originally had the name Nagle was a nail maker, which is where the translation comes from.
