Wow! I'm impressed with that sandbox fella! You must hang out on Baen's Bar more than I ever did. I haven't been a regular there for at least 15 months. How many other fan sites do you know of.  Plz put in projects Head as 4th subsection. The real need is to find an old archieve that lists 1632 characters and maybe a minibio as well. Alternative is to take Virginia's Grid into excell and export the pertinent columns into a text file. (txt).  I'm an old fuddy duddy w/o excel.  Can you take that task on?  Put it into a WorkPage (sandbox or subpage) so we can all play with it, or email it to me and I'll do it.  Beats going through book by book para by para for a partial list!
