Year Compiled: 1997

Scope

Also, you will notice that several of the stories listed here are accompanied by notes with question marks. Those are unconfirmed facts which I have inferred from the sources I have so far consulted. I am conducting ongoing research to locate concrete evidence for these particular assertions. If you can confirm or refute any of the facts that I have listed with a question mark, please contact me. Thank you for your patience and your assistance with this work in progress.  --Susan L. Tolbert, M.S.L.I.S.
