message: * Lots of tough borderline entries with questionable references that need to be looked
* Two were removed for reference overhaul or content issues.
* Most of the entries are American, so to balance this, all births and deaths are non American. 
* No female entries so two of the births and deaths are female.
* First time adding a picture, it is in the public domain and is not fair use. Caption used is welcome to be modified.
