Map of France showing where the Augeri arms are recorded
The Augeri arms were recorded in France, c. 1663.
Arms such as these were typically recorded in Bretagne.
More families held coats of arms in Bretagne than anywhere else in France. The land was divided into many small estates rather than a few large ones, so far more households counted as gentry, and each needed a shield of its own to be told apart.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in France
In France, a coat of arms was a mark of honor that passed down through the male line to all legitimate descendants. Families often used the same shield without changes to show their shared heritage. If a branch wanted to stand out, they could add a small mark to their shield to show their specific place in the family tree.
Granting authority
The Juge d'armes de France acted as the official authority that regulated and verified coats of arms across the country.
How they got arms
Families typically inherited their arms from ancestors, though they could also receive them through royal grants or by proving their noble status.
Where arms were recorded
Coats of arms were officially recorded in the Armorial Général de France, which began its main collection in the year 1696.
The family's standing

Origin & History of the Augeri Family in France
The family name Augeri finds its roots in the historic region of Bretagne, France, where records confirm the presence of family members as early as 1663. The name is believed to be a variation of the ancient Germanic name Adalgari, which combines the elements for noble and spear. During the seventeenth century, families in this coastal region were often deeply connected to the local agricultural economy or maritime trades that defined life in western France. As the family established itself in Bretagne, they became part of the social fabric of the province during a time of significant cultural and political transition under the French monarchy. Over the generations, the spelling of the name likely shifted to reflect local dialects and the way it was spoken by the people living in the rural parishes of the area.
