Being a suspicious sort I’m always wary of sites like this. There was obviously some cost involved in setting it up so you wonder what the motives are for offering this information. At first glance quite a lot of it seems to have been harvested from telephone directories and trade publications and, certainly as far as my own study is concerned, all but two of the 35 people listed are in the US or Canada and the information for the two British Serpells is incorrect. Anyone know who is running this site?
