This list is in progress, meaning there is missing information. How a name appears in a list is sometimes open to interpretation, even by the person who is in the list. Some information may not be correct. Your help is requested in completing the list. For the purpose of documenting history, this page cannot be considered accurate. The sources of information are not clearly documented. The value in the list is that it is a hypothesis which requires verification.
