Smaller mouthfuls rob.
One thing in particular to be watchful for, is sources which state a
particular age or birthyear without providing any primary source for
that statement.
For many of the birthyears above, I know no source that actually gives
us the year or age of the person involved. I would suggest some or
most of these are guesses and should be thrown out.
Start over, and note each source carefully
