A Note About Dates
This list is organized so the people born earliest are listed first. Metadata dates in Obsidian must be precise for indexing, so any unknown elements of a date will be rounded down to 1. i.e. If all we know is someone was born in 1969, their birth date will be listed as 01-01-1969.
