Hey Bruce,
Since mere mortals do not have the big bucks or institutions ... How about
sharing or quoting a bit of the new details with volume number and such for
peasants like me.

Another place to look is the new edition of the British
'Dictionary of
National Biography'. For example the bio there of John Carpenter Bishop of
Worcester has many new items. It is admitted there for the first time that
that John the Bishop probably decended from a lineage of merchants.
