I have included on this page all of the references used in writing my book (and therefore in the research that has gone into the website) as well as the lists of individuals who have assisted me by sharing resources, sharing their research and having a chat! My heartfelt thanks goes to all who have helped me.  It has been fascinating to meet or e-meet so many people and I hope that this website serves to bring even more people together to share this story.
