Casting about for a new pen-name, I settled on Gunn Sinclair. See the website; I’m on a sort of mission to show that it was not the Vikings who came to Minnesota in 1362, leaving behind the Kensington Runestone. No, it was most likely Templars/Cistercians…referencing the HOOKED X. I believe the Knights Templar (including Gunns and Sinclairs) meant for there to be a New Jerusalem in medieval Minnesota. We have plenty of related evidences besides the runestone: metal battle weapons, Norse-type rock carvings, and plenty of stonehole rocks! Indeed, the runestone was surrounded by a dozen or more. There are many great photos of Runestone Park at the website. Thank you for your interest. Email me with any questions. Bob Voyles, Author & Publisher.

CELTIC BLOOD, a novel available through amazon deals with the early history of clan Gunn. It uses the scant historical record to weave a story of heroism and hardship, and explores the viking connection of clan Gunn. Whoever the founder was, to gain prominence he must of been an intelligent hardy warrior who inspired feelings of loyalty from his friends and to find his way in a hostile dangerous world where only the fittest survived and only the very fightest of all, created a name that would live on proudly for generations, right up to the present.

Bletherskite, exactly that what this lorry driver story is. Me an my father have been studying our roots and how the Gunns arrived from Sweden to Finland, where we live, a couple of hundred a years ago. I believe that soon we will have strong enough evidence to prove that we have the clan leadership.

Just a couple of points that we have found so far. ! know that during the reformation my ancesters where recruited as mercenaries to fight for the church and that is how we ended up in Finland. Secondly the second name for all the first male born Gunns in Finland has always been Johannes, or John; brother of James. In addition my My grandfather´s first name was Karl = Earl, My name is Jari; Jarl in Swedish e.g. Earl. Thirdly my father told me that in his childhood there was a group of people looking for the chief of the clan Gunn around Scandinavia, but they ignored it because they thought of it as a joke. In addition this happened shortly after the 2nd WW, which made them question the true intent of these people. With Best regards, J.J. Gunn
