I am traversing the nodes to get the node I want within a partial:

            //Get settings from Ancestor Language Node
            var langPage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("lang");

            var emailTo = langPage.GetPropertyValue("emailAddressTo", "fallback").ToString();

My question that I have an email helper class used to handle the smtp stuff.

This also needs access to this node but obviously I don't have access to CurrentPage.

Is there another way to search up the tree from current, find a node with doctype "lang" from an extension class?

Any help gratefully received.
