Editor's comment : Note that this listing is quite modest with many key omissions and I personally regard the names so marked as debatable claims. The list however is presented here as found but should be used as one of several sources of information not as 'THE' list.

A far more complete listing which includes communications etc. is posted at Louisiana State University
