PLEASE NOTE that we do not actually WRITE the history --- we just transcribe the data we find in various history books. Yes, there are errors and they might have occurred MANY years ago! No, we're not going to change the data we've transcribed, but we will add notes or separate biographies if you want to send us WELL-RESEARCHED data. You should not depend on these secondary sources as the final word -- you should always conduct your own research and verify your own findings with as many original sources as you can.
