This list of biographies by surname is a continual work in progress. Some of the pages of these existing surnames are in process of being rewritten while new surnames are added as research identifies them. All of the biographies on this website will eventually be in a consistent web format, which takes time as the research and uploading processes progresses.
Please note that these webpages are for your viewing convenience but were never intended to replace a paper document. Click the PDF Download button on each biography page to obtain a more scholarly format for use in research.
