[ANSTHRLD] Consulting Library

Ok, I don't see why each entry can't have that info. With the proper
references (see Fox Davies, pg 234) added in, we would all know the
reference is good or not. Anything else someone want's to use they will have
to provide copies and documentation.

It's not just culture, but also language (for example, in Scotland you get 
Latin, Scots, and Gaelic documents) and other notes - like whether the given

name is in a genitive case - which means it would need to be changed to 
nominative for a name submission.

If someone wanted to do this, the best idea would be to type in all the
names 
from Black, leaving columns for language, notes, and "trustworthy?" and let 
folks annotate as part of proofreading.  The reason I add "trustworthy" is 
that any example in Black that he pulled from "HP" is from the Highland 
Papers - which are known to have "updated" spellings from period documents.

so, anything with the source noted as HP is suspect.
