Information is documented as accurately as currently possible, but in some cases the information is probable or possibleor sometimes 

theoretical.  Sources are noted within the book chapters and referenced at the end of the book. The information is only as good as 

the sources.  In cases where researchers differ on their acceptance of information, debate is included and the reader can decide for 

themselves.  This is a work in progress which will be further researched as generation chapters develop. There may be some typos 

and some misinformation due to invalid sources.  Please send comments, corrections, and additions to CoachBob@CoachGlover.com
