HI: Unfortuately I cannot give you that yet, since it is still in the final stages, but othewise, just gather all of the data, in published books, magazines, rumors, legends, or whatever, carefuly sift through eliminating the obviously false, then cross check each other for possibilities. Eventually you end up with a kernel of truth.

This can then be used to back check the discarded data to see it any of it now fits for further verification, then go for it.

Luck and mostly have fun !
