Find document type in complex structure Umbraco 7
My content is structured in the following way.
```
Root
    Website A
        Home
            Page 1
            Page 2
            Page N
    Website B
        Home
    Website C
        Home
```
Each Home document type is connected to an master layout template. In my master layout I try to find the Home node by writing this code.

var home = Model.Content.Siblings().FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "Home");

This works when im on the Home node, but when I go to ex. Page 1 I get an exception, because Home is not a sibling for Page 1.

Then I tried this.

var home= Umbraco.TypedContentAtXPath("//Home").FirstOrDefault();

And this worked when I was at Website A since it returned the first node. But when at Website B I still got Website A node, and that is wrong.

Any tips on how to solve this?

I think this is the code that you are looking for:

var home = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("Home");

Thanks! I had to change it a bit for it to work.
```
var home = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(2).Children().FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "Home");
```
