Note: Some names, places, and dates shown are the best estimates of this research group and are usually so indicated. Any name, place, or date with words such as about, maybe, near, or "c" associated with it should be independently verified if exact data is required. Not all circa dates are so indicated because of the limitations of my PAF program which does not print a "c" in front of "circa" or "about" dates in all cases. If date is not precisely given then assume it is an estimate.
