Research Notes
Absalom is identified in 1998.349.173, .195 & .229 as 'Absalom'; in 1998.349.168 as 'Absala'; in 1998.349.29 as 'Abraham' and 1998.349.47 as 'Abrahim'. Although this is slightly confusing, we have decided to identify him as Absalom throughout for consistency. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004 & CM 04/04/2007] James appears in 1998.349.176, .195, .218 & .221 where he is identified. [CM 04/04/2007]
