The lists are not sorted. I prefer a chronological order (birthday) but information is not available for all the persons. The list is only a result of my own research and some few suggestions by others. It is therefore not surprising if some important names are missing. Inform me about the person, his work, birthdate and birthplace and possible links and maybe images that could be used. (mlahanas@gmx.net). Do not send any material before you inform me since attachments are filtered out.
