"What the @#&^.?!"
At this point, you might be wondering who I am and why I decided to create this website. Supporters of Nicholas De Vere, Tracy Twyman, Laurence Gardner, and Michael Lafosse might be wondering who I think I am, and what basis I have for questioning them.
I still don’t know for certain if I am personally a descendant of what Nicholas de Vere and Laurence Gardner have called the "Draconic" Bloodlines (i.e. in this case the House of Angevin, who are said in turn to have been descended in turn from the Royal Scythian bloodlines.) It seems likely, since I am related to the Scottish/Irish Clan Lindsay, whom De Vere himself mentioned in his own genealogical study.
Clan Lindsay USA on the Web. Other than this extremely tenuous connection, I have no idea - though I am still attempting to trace my family tree on both my Paternal and Maternal sides. But I have no interest in claiming to be something I am not. I am not now, nor have I ever been an actual official member of the "Dragon Court and Order," (either Nicholas de Vere's or the current Sarkany Rend organization operating in Hungary.) I did become a member of the online forum at www.dragoncourt.org in early 2003, and was a forum Moderator during most of 2005 until the site was closed down. It was during this time that I received a few emails from people who had questions about Nicholas de Vere, which I answered to the best of my limited knowledge (we pretty much have had nothing but rumors to go on since late 2003.)
I simply want to know the truth – if the Elves of ancient legend are indeed based on a people who actually lived and breathed, and dwelled in this world “once upon a time” – and who may yet live today.
One thing that visitors to this site may notice is my extensive usage of both Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine. Unlike most online encyclopedias (which charge an annual subscription) Wikipedia is a free service - and it's helped me through more college examinations than I can count. The Wayback Machine is a searchable service that archives websites on the internet at different points in their existences. Both tools have proven invaluable to me in my research (such as it is.)
But don't take my word for it...for here is a Wikipedia Article about the Wayback Machine.
Past visitors to this site in its previous incarnations might also recall references to films, works of fiction, and examples of pop culture that have caught my fancy over the years. It is my belief that the memory of a very real civilization of people who may very well have inspired the legends of the Elves has been preserved within the Collective Subconscious. Like all repressed memories, bits and pieces of this lore have a tendency to surface in the oddest, unlikeliest places - spreading like a viral "meme", transmitted within the archetypal stories that are constantly being told and re-told in ever-evolving forms within our current (pop?)culture. The "Elven" peoples will never truly be forgotten, so long as even a trace of their symbolism survives.
