I cannot take credit for these biography's as they were taken from various sources.
   I have taken the raw text plus  some of the links &  re-formatted  them in my own way.   In the above list there are many names that are not linked, this is because I have only chosen a select number (mainly those I know & are interested in & partly because its very time consuming re-formatting them)
