hilgren,

I may seem to be asleep, its just that I have said all I have to say
about the KRS long ago.

If someone states that there is a Templar connection and has proof,
I
am hardly surprised. I have no doubt that the Templars had extensive
knowledge of North America, it as a source of some of their wealth
information and they passed this to thier successors.

The residents of the Northern realms including Greenland and Iceland
for many years went to trade with the natives of this continent.
Later when thier settlements failed many moved here, others went to
Europe and became guides to the new colonists and traders. The
tradition of using norsemen as guides continued into the 17th and
18th Centuries, when the Hudsons' Bay company hired exclusively from
the Orkneys.

Even the French who preceded the English in the west drew on
knowledge from both the Northmen and Esotheric sources associated
with Templar suvivor organizations. Montreal that was the jumping
off point for trading activity was run by the Sulpicians.

The speculations of Dan Brown in his book came as no surprise, I
would rather hear though about hard evidence than fictional
speculations. So please tell us what you have I will read it with
great interest and try to understand the interrelationship between
it and the other information that I have learned over the
intervening years.

Roger
