Hi, I am new to this, yes, I know it's a pain, but I was wondering does
anyone know what the Coat of Arms looks like for the Lowell family? I'm told
I'm related to the Lowell's of Mass. I would like to get the Coat of Arms.
Thanks for any help in this matter. Sorry for being new to all of this.

The one reference to a Lowell Coat of Arms is: Gules three mascles or.

mascle= a lozenge perforated or voided so that the field appears through
the opening.

Lozenge= a parallel with equal sides, forming two acute and two obtuse
angles.
[In other words, diamond shaped and standing on point]

The Lowells of Mass. bear Sable, a hand couped at the wrist holding
three darts, one per pale and two per saltire argent. (The source
I have says "Worcester, confirmed 1573", so these would presumably
be original arms from England).
