Hey, Alex you stole my family motto :-).  Trouble is your's is slightly
different and a mix a languages, using both Italian and Latin if I'm not
mistaken.  

"Bastardo" is Italian (or pigeon Italian) as in "Fungula Bastardo" (sp?)
(= fuc at ing ba$tard) that I learned growing up in ethnic-rich and
racially-tense neighborhoods in the '60s.

I believe the correct way to state the motto is with all Latin, as:

	"NIL ILLIGITIMUM CARBORUNDUM" (sp?)

HTH your family to prosper by correctly operating under the much-used
motto :-)

Gavin.
