Defending the restored church of Christ - I created this blog back in 2013 to provide an alternative to what I saw at the time as a lot of bad "Mormon blogs" that were floating around the web. I originally named it "Mormon Village" but after Pres. Nelson asked members to not use the name Mormon as much I changed it to LatterDayTemplar. Also, it was my goal to collect and share a plethora of positive and useful information about what I steadfastly believe to be Christ's restored church. It has been incredibly enjoyable and I hope you find the information worthwhile.

Interview with Blackbeard Expert Baylus Brooks | The Pirates Port

Interview with author Baylus Brooks about discovering the answer to a pirate mystery centuries old, who was the real Blackbeard.

Interesting enough the answer was there for anyone to find who went looking for it.... in the LDS Church's vast genealogical library.

The theory was that Blackbeard the pirate grew up in Jamaica in the early 1700's, possibly with the last name Teach, or Thatch. Thanks to some digitized Jamaican Anglican Church records from that time period the mystery has been solved.

(The entire interview is excellent, but if just want to hear the Church mentioned listen to 4:00-7:00, and 12:30-13:30)
