I know, this is not strictly LD research, but perhaps interesting for the ones, who pursue the St. Clair line: www.saintclair.org/stclair.htmlA colourful bouquet of links here. ardunna

How did 'Old Bets' get the St. Clair surname.
According to The Da Vinci Code claims the blood of Christ survived most directly in the Plantard and St. Clair families.
Rosslyn Chapel was founded in 1446 by Sir William St. Clair, a Prince of Orkney and one of many in a line of St. Clairs with ties to Scottish Freemasonry.
In Rosslyn's south aisle, visitors will also spot the carving of an angel holding a heart, widely believed to represent that of Robert the Bruce (of "Braveheart" fame). Having fought alongside the future King of Scotland during the 14th Century wars of Scottish independence, St. Clair ancestors were chosen to carry the Bruce's heart to Jerusalem after his death in battle. The more interesting historical oddities present in the stonework include an archway allegedly depicting rows of North American maize.
With construction on the chapel occurring nearly fifty years prior to Columbus' discovery of America, some Rosslyn authorities point to this as evidence that a member of the St. Clair family may have traveled to the New World in the early 1400s.

I watched that on TV a few weeks ago and was surprised to see the St Clair surname attached to the Holy Grail/Jesus Blood Line I just looked it up on the web. Here is a good one. www.coolfrenchcomics.com/wnu16.htmsara
