Use the links listed above to go to the alphabetically-sorted biography pages.

Note that many people listed are not quoted in FFT - there are 31844 biographies listed. Also, not all people quoted in FFT have biographical entries, due to incomplete or unsuccessful research.

I've included as much information as possible while limiting each entry to 80 characters. This makes some entries less than comprehensive, due to omitted pseudonyms, etc., but certainly a fine starting point for further research.

Use the search tool to search for names, nationalities, professions, even dates. Search capability is limited (exact matches only, Boolean logic not supported), and can be slow (searching all the records may take a minute or two). Up to fifty matches are displayed per page; if more than fifty records match, follow the "More" link to dispay the next fifty matches.

Here's a histogram that shows the distribution of names in this collection, considering the first four letters in each last name. The biggest gap is for names between 'qiao' and 'quac'.
