Group Home is a hip hop duo, composed of members Lil' Dap (birth name James Heath) and Melachi the Nutcracker (birth name Jamal Felder).
 They came to prominence as members of the Gang Starr Foundation.
 Lil' Dap made his rhyming debut on Gang Starr's 1992 classic "Daily Operation" on the song "I'm the Man".
 Both members appeared on Gang Starr's critically acclaimed 1994 effort "Hard to Earn", on the tracks "Speak Ya Clout" and "Words from the Nutcracker".
 In 1995, the group released its debut album, "Livin' Proof".
 The album was very well received, mainly due to DJ Premier's advanced production work, described by "Allmusic" as "rhythmic masterpieces".
 A second album "A Tear for the Ghetto" was released in 1999, this time with only one track produced by DJ Premier.
The California Birth Index (CABI) is a database compiled by the California Office of Health Information and Research.
 The index contains birth records of all registered births in California between 1905 and 1995.
 Each record is an abstract of a person's birth certificate, including date of birth, full name, county of birth, gender, and mother's maiden name.
 People who have been adopted are sometimes listed by their birth name, sometimes listed by their adopted name, sometimes by both and sometimes not listed at all.
 The CABI is considered a valuable genealogy tool but is also criticized for privacy issues.
 California began statewide civil registration of births on July 1, 1905.
 Earlier birth records may exist in the county where the birth took place or at the church where a baptism took place.
She was born Sarah Frances Marie Martinot in New York City on December 19, 1861, the daughter of William Alexander and Mary Lydia (née Randall) Martinot.
 Her father was the son of John P. Martinot, a French immigrant who founded a successful wholesale firm dealing in imported silk products.
 William Martinot worked for his father's firm and had served in the American Civil War and later as a New York City police detective who once brought charges of corruption against a NYPD police captain.
 Her mother was said to be of the family that once owned Randall's Island in Manhattan.
 Before taking to the stage at 15, Martinot was educated at area public schools and the Ursuline Convent in New Rochelle, New York.
 Some accounts have her birth name as Sally Martin or Sally Eagan, the daughter of an Irish-American single mother who worked hard to ensure her a good education.
 In March 1894 Martinot stated to the press that, though she would have been proud to have been raised under such a circumstance, she in fact was the daughter of Mary and William Alexander Martinot.
"Jesko" or "Jesco" is a male given name, which is used in Bosnia and Germany.

"The Proud One" is a 1966 single written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe and originally performed by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and credited to Valli solo; that version peaked at #68.
Gerrie is Dutch and Afrikaans unisex given name.
 It is a diminutive of Ger, itself short for Gerard.
 As a birth name in the Netherlands, it is primarily feminine, peaking in popularities around 1950, but the name is more common as a nickname for men with the birth name Gerard(us) or Gerrit.
