    Need help here, my Latin isn't up to much, so can you tell me what "tristus et fidelis" means?

    		Sad and Faithful. It is the motto of the Daltone family.

    		It's supposed to mean "sad/gloomy and faithful" but that website has it spelled wrong. It should be "tristis et fidelis" with an "i", unless whoever wrote the motto got it wrong... :) Just thought you'd like to know in case you're doing genealogy.

    best, mastarna
