I have always loved the old Dracula movies, but it wasn't until Gary Oldham's movie came out where he played the part of Dracula that I actually realized that Vlad was a real person.
Not a dracula as Hollywood has made him out to be, but in doing my own research of this family, I found it a totally amazing study. Brutal and gruesome as he was in some of his methods of killing people, it was still all part of the history that gave him the name Vlad the Impaler.
If you feel a connection to him and a calling, I completely believe in following up on those feelings. I have premonitions all the time myself about things and at least 8 times out of 10 my "gut instincts" are correct.
So two years later as I reply to you, perhaps you have been to Vlad's castle or found your family link.
Good Luck to you.
