Dear L,

There is no Coat of Arms for the SVOBODA family! Nor is there a COA for any family! COAs were issued to individuals for extraordinary feats or special services rendered. If you notice most of the mention of COA and Crests are from companies wanting to sell you one, with a history of your family!

I can tell you that SVOBODA means freeman (vs a serf) and is the second most common surname... so any COA you find most likely does not any relationship to most SVOBODA families.
