NOTES






1a and 1b -- The Bogdanov twins were producers of a French science television show, Temps X, and authors of Dieu et la science [1991]. In 2002, some scientists suggested that the published scientific papers of the brothers were an elaborate hoax. Other scientists support the brothers. Discussions of the issues can be found at http://quantumfuture.net/quantum_future/bogdanov1.htm, http://www.physics.utah.edu/~mc/P4910/09PHYS.html, http://csf.colorado.edu/mail/pen-l/2002IV/msg01345.html, and elsewhere.



2 -- The Bogdanov twins claim that their father was a member of a princely Russian family. Other than a statement by Dr. Stanislaus Dumin (included in a message posted by the twins on 7 Jan 2005 to the alt.talk.royalty Usenet newsgroup), there isn't much evidence to support this claim.



6 -- He was a noted lyric tenor.

The Hayes farm, near Curryville in Gordon Co., Ga., and appears to be on one of the tracts of land given by a plantation owner named Culpepper to some blacks who worked for them. See http://gen.culpepper.com/ss/p32277.htm for details.



7 -- Her children by her husband include Joseph (1910-1990), 7. Fürst von Colloredo-Mannsfeld.
