	ancestorsonboard.com: Passenger list search tips
		These merged lists are a result of the structure of the original paper passenger lists within their archival boxes (for instance, where different lists from one shipping line were joined together using treasury tags and foliated as a single list).
		Passenger lists usually give details of the overseas port to which the passenger is sailing, while remaining silent on the country in which the port is situated.
		However, given the size of the database, unless you are dealing with a rare or distinctive name, you may find that you need to select a country (or to work through a selection of counties one at a time) for your results to be manageable.

	Persian language at AllExperts
		Persian is a member of the Indo-European family of languages, within that family to the satem-languages family, and within that family it belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch.
		The Academy of Persian Language and Literature has argued in an official pronouncement [2] that the name "Persian" is more appropriate, as it has the longer tradition in the western languages and better expresses the role of the language as a mark of cultural and national continuity.
		Modern Persian is normally written using a modified variant of the Arabic alphabet with different pronunciation of the letters.

	Persian Masculine Names in the Nafah.ât al-uns - Ursula Whitcher, alias Ursula Georges
		The most common name pattern in this list is a given name followed by a locative byname, that is, a name which tells where the person is from.
		The given names are uniformly Arabic in origin; this could be an artefact of the data, since the men in question were prominent religious figures, but it could also reflect a broader trend in Persian naming.
		In some cases, a particular name could serve as a given name or a title in different contexts: originally, the caliph granted names like `Alâ' al-Dîn "excellence of the faith" and Bahâ' al-Dîn "brilliance of the faith" to rulers and important civil servants, but today these names are also used by ordinary people.
