Well I suspect a lot but I also know a lot, just hear me out. I get wrapped up into this by 1st being descended from Urien Rheged, a British Prince, living, according to the best authorities, in the sixth century after Christ and then on to his Heirs that were part of the Royals later on in the Thomas Families of Sir Rhys Ap Thomas, Knight of the Garter of Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales, down thru this line was My 9th great grandfather Philip Thomas who emigrated from Bristol England in 1651 and settle in West River, Maryland. But I am also related to in direct lineage from Bartholomew Du Puy, born in Languedoc, France in 1653, was a captain of the guards of King Louis XIV, retired and emigrated to Virginia in 1700. His Direct Line Royal Family Lineage goes back to Raphael Du Puy (in latin PODIO), Govenor of the provinces of Languedoc and Dauphin in 1033, appointed by Conrad II, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR. Raphael was also Grand Chamberlain of the Roman Emperor before the War of Conquest. His Son: Hughes I, Seig de Pereins d' Apifer de Rochefort, married Deurad de Poissacu in 1096. He went to the Crusades with his wife and four children. He founded the Abbey d'Alguebelle, Order of Saint Bernard, was one of the Generals of Godefroi de Boullon and for his bravery was granted the Sovereignty of the City of Acres. He was called "Hughes de Podio, the very excellent warrior". His sons were Alleman, Rodolphe, Romaine and Raymond, who founded and became Grand Master of the Order of St. John. And it goes on and on. I am descended from Both Sides of My Parents Families from the Pilgrims, Royals and Huguenots and they also inter married at different times. There is way over a thousand Families just in my Family Tree. All of which is Super Documented in History. This is what I Suspect: I think the Templars Evolved into the Freemasons and many of these Freemasons joined forces into the JESUIT ORDER (there's ancient spanish in me too), when the Jesuits fell out of favor with the King and the Pope, there were members of the Jesuits that Infraltrated (wish I could spell) into the Franciscan Order. What does this all have to do with Oak Island

? Well, to cut to the chase, it's about the "Canopy Oaks". There is a "RELIGIOUS SIGNIFGANCE" about these, of which I haven't quite figured out quite yet, it may be a sign of the "Tree of Life" or the Wood that Christ was crucified on, what I do know about them is that they are DIRECTIONAL MARKERS, possible Mathematic Equations or Symbol Monuments that spell out Signs like Rectangles or Triangles etc..(I got interested in New Ross Ruins a thinking that this could be part of the equation). So let's jump forward to this, I live in Paso Robles, California, I am a native of California, the original name of Paso is "El Paso de Robles" it's old Spanish for PASS OF OAKS. I've lived here off & on ever since the 1960's from My Parents Cattle Ranch. After I got out of Uncle Sam's Service, I started prospecting and such on up to present and am part of a few guys that have placer gold mining claims in the La Panza Mountains of the Los Padres National Forest, 30 miles from where I live. For over 9 years I have been exploring and investigating on & off of our claim, looking for the Old Spanish Gold & Silver Mines that are buried here. There are Unsubstantiated (wish I could spell) Legends here on the coast that the "Jesuits" were here Early in the 1600's Mining. For a Fact, they were here in California Early, I found them in the desert (another long story). The Mission Padres (Franciscans) out of San Luis Obispo were definitely involved in this area along with the Spanish Miners. Okay, we're getting to the good part now, Pay Attention. So I have found and cataloged for me over 100 Old Spanish Monuments and Signs on & off the claim, but the "KEY" to all of this was the "OAK CANOPY TREES that formed a TRIANGLE" over a Large area that led me into where I FOUND THE OLD MINE. SEE PIC'S, Can only show you 2 of them....Darrell
