This Directory is for people named Bristol, Bristow, Bristor/-er, Burstow
who have stood out from the crowd or who have made some unique contribution to the civilized world.

The first guest being Richard Bristow, 1538-1581, one of the main translators and defenders of the Rheims-Douay Catholic Bible.
I have studied a detailed comparison of this Bible, the King James and the Tyndale, and have concluded with others that both the KJV and the R-D
owe much to the Tyndale version.  The Catholic  version focused on proving Catholicism which is its main fault. The file is "r-bristowe.txt."
