Sanusi,
Looking forward to your contribution. I have below an excerpt from
Britannica showing a example of what contributions may contain. It is
possible that some important facts such as date of birth / death and
place of birth may not be readily available but that should not be a
serious problem for now. Lets make sure we keep track of the facts
wherever they are available.

JOHN
born Dec. 24, 1167, Oxford, Eng.
died Oct. 18/19, 1216, Newark, Nottinghamshire
King of England (1199-1216).
known as John Lackland The youngest son of Henry II
, he joined his brother Richard
(later Richard I ) in a rebellion
against Henry (1189). John became lord of Ireland, and, when Richard was
imprisoned in Germany on his way back from the Third Crusade
, he tried to seize control of
England (1193). On Richard's return, John was banished (1194), but the
two were later reconciled. Crowned king in 1199, John lost Normandy
(1204) and most of his other French lands in a war with Philip II
(Philip Augustus). After Innocent
III excommunicated him for refusing
to recognize Stephen Langton as
archbishop of Canterbury, John was obliged to declare England a fief of
the Holy See (1213). He launched a military campaign against France in
1214 but made no lasting gains. His heavy taxes and aggressive assertion
of feudal privileges led to the outbreak of civil war (1215). The barons
forced him to sign the Magna Carta ,
but the civil war continued until his death.

Last year a similar effort on last names led to discovery of many other names to Gambian last names. In the next few weeks I will add the results of these findings to the Atlas of the Gambia website.

They can be Kings, Presidents and Politicians, power brokers, warrior generals, foot soldiers, slave owners/traders, slaves, ex-convicts, rebel leaders, religious / traditional leaders, cattle-owners, ordinary mothers and fathers, sportsmen/women, teachers, students, scholars you name it.
