I also located a crest for Robertson. There are several variations of the crest. "Glory is the reward of Valor" is the translation of the "clan" motto.

Kamon
I found a decent graphic of our family crest. It's unique as opposed to a name. Our family changed their name many years ago with the fall of the samurai. From Masaki to Tanaka. Masaki was a samurai bloodline. The kamon (crest) however, never changed. So its symbolic value is strong. It's called "Maru ni mitsu kashiwa", or "Circle of three oak leaves".

Hello there,
I don't know if you will see this as it seems as though you stopped the blog years ago but I am currently looking into my fathers family history and tried google image searching using our family Kamon and found your blog, noticing that your Kamon is pretty much the same as mine. I hope you reply as I would really like to get more information about your Kamon to see if there is any relation to mine since it is very hard for me to get information about my fathers side of the family.
