Hello! My name is G.C.! I created this Wikipedia Account so that I could create and modify Wikipedia pages.
About Me
What do I do? I am now an Adventurer, World Traveler and Treasure Hunter. I was born in California, United States. From Summer of 2015 - Late Winter of 2018 I backpacked around the United States and Ontario, Canada and in Late Winter of 2018 I traveled to France and backpacked around France as well!
What I Do
I am very much into Genealogy and Ancestral Research at the moment and I have acquired the Genealogy Certifications. Genealogy and Ancestral Historical Research is actually very tedious and difficult work. Many people are doing the process incorrectly and they are wrong about who their ancestors are. Through research like this it is possible to get a great understanding of certain time periods because that research carries into historicity due to examining authentic documentation about the ancestor.
For an example: a person might know who his or her mother and father are, but how can they prove it legally? The answer is to obtain the legal documentation such as a certified birth certificate, federal census decade or other documentation such as a DNA test to prove parentage and even then it is still possible it is not correct so from there the proofs will need to be investigated to see if they are indeed authentic. This process takes a lot of time and money depending on how many generations back a researcher goes. A researcher starts out with those documents and moves backwards in time acquiring each proof-of-parentage and then investigates each proof to find more details about family ties. Then a researcher travels to grave yards to take pictures of the headstones of their ancestors. Some records have been known to be unreliable, especially if the person is notable or famous because that person may have been at war with an enemy and their enemy could have fabricated documentation or propaganda to discredit them. There have been many cases like that and there are historical groups that research those cases to uncover the truth.
Family trees with references are not acceptable proofs unless there is authentic valid and legal documentation to prove parentage. Researching documentation, family bibles, letters and artifacts leads to a great understanding of the time period because they talk about certain things in letters and other documents that could even disprove things written in history books.
I do historical research and I am a proved direct descendant by blood of numerous notable people throughout history, including Royalty of Europe, Patriots of the American Revolutionary War, Patriots of the French Revolution, a Union Officer of the American Civil War, and Signers of the Magna Charta, isn't that fun?
I have gone on expeditions to military camps of the American Revolutionary War and did some metal detecting and digging for artifacts. I also hunted down items that were buried after I found out about them from different authentic sources, isn't that awesome?! My interest in those topics are mainly due to my descent from those historically important people.
I am a direct lineal descendant by blood from people like John Sevier, Michael Antoine Garoutte, d'Espinassy Family, Antoine Joseph Marie d'Espinassy, Nehemiah Wood, Barons of the Magna Charta, Chevaliers of the Kingdom of France, Sir William Wood a Tudor Knight and House Member, a Drink Knight of Castellane, Kingdom of France and many, many more. I don't mind adding articles to Wikipedia and correcting the already existing articles on Wikipedia about these people. And as of me writing this it looks like Wikipedia doesn't even have an article about a Drink Knight! I also intend to add articles about many other things!
My Education
I learned Church History and many things from priests because I was going to be a priest, but I decided not to. For the past few years I was educated by a few different priests and nuns on a variety of subjects.
I have done a lot of research on the historicity of the Catholic Church and the historicity of Jesus Christ outside of curriculum and I was able to prove things with historical documentation.
I'm a member of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and my work there isn't quite finished yet.. at least not until I can finish my research on each of my Patriot ancestors! I enjoy Research, History, Mathematics, the Art of memory, Lightning Calculating, Writing, Catholic Apologetics, Debate and adventures to places where I search for buried historically significant items that I found out about from my historical research! By no means am I a professional archaeologist, but I have found important things in my searches and expeditions. I have, in my collection, historically significant things that I have inherited as well, such as authenticated artifacts of Saints of the Catholic Church and even a piece of the True Cross, but the true cross piece in my possession has not been authenticated and you may know of the old saying "There are enough pieces of the True Cross to build Saint Peter's Ship!". I also have published works under a pseudonym.
My Writing
As of the moment I am writing this I'm very much addicted to studying works like the different versions of La Hypnerotomachia di Poliphilo which is the Italian title of the same book Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, the Voynich Manuscript and similar works right now. I have revisited works like these for 2 books I am writing, one is about historical Demonolatry for the sake of historical research, investigation and preservation and the other is about the history of the Art of Memory and in it there are a few hundred mathematical algorithms of great importance, a few of which I have developed myself and used in a competition to beat a Knight of the British Crown by 5 seconds who was using slower algorithms! Acrostics and cryptic language can be found sprinkled in works like these. According to my research and investigation of authentic documentation, Simonides of Ceos is credited with numerous systems of mními but there were many before him who did the exact same thing! I'm taking an academic and investigative approach for my research on Demonolatry by investigating purported cases of historical practitioners of that terrible 'religion'. Purported practitioners such as le baron Gilles de Rais is a very interesting but frightening story. The Church teaches that a validly baptized Christian cannot be majorly possessed because when our Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected He came back having conquered death and He has the keys to death and Hades and when He was at the gates of Hades He bound the evil one, when Christ was resurrected, Adam and the other souls were rescued by Christ and resurrected with Christ, and in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter: 28, Verse: 19, He commanded His Apostles to "Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" which is the first Sacrament to a restored life in God. Baptism completely cuts any connection with the Evil One therefore a validly baptized Christian cannot be majorly possessed!
My favorite time period is the Middle Ages. When films depict fantastical adventures to places of antiquity or to places of biblical interest, like the Fountain of Youth, well, historically these 'unfound' places were really searched for by Orders in the Church and maybe even found. Documentation exists about these 'unfound' places. I had written a research paper about the Holy Grail tracing it from Saint Simon the Zealot who took it from Joseph of Arimathea, to a certain Byzantine King in the 11th century where it was stolen by RCC Crusaders and from there it changed hands in noble French families.
I am an ex-Protestant raised, baptized in the Roman Catholic Church as an infant and later my Catechesis was completed by the Church. I am now a Traditional Authentic Catholic and American which basically means I adhere strictly to Authentic Scripture, The Teachings of Jesus Christ, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Authentic Church History and Authentic Church Tradition. I do not accept certain things and I completely reject Cultural Catholicism. Natural Law is important. I follow Christ's Teachings absolutely above anything, regardless of what any heretical clergy states or teaches. I love my supreme King and Lord Jesus!
Treasure Hunting
So far in my expeditions I have found items of significant value. I was overpowered and tied up with zip ties by a rival group in Winter 2017, left high and dry, but I was able to break free and escape. I have been in many sticky situations but I have learned from these experiences.
