After that, I went through the Biographical Encyclopedia of the Negro Baseball Leagues by James A. Riley and added all of the first names there that were not already in section 39.

So, if you use this first names list, I suggest adding this country to your country's database. This provides 95% Negro League names and 5% Hispanic.

227,United States (Negro-Leagues),U.S.A.,USA,American,4,5,39,95,1,5,,


I will be working on the last names now unless someone has already done so.

Brilliant.

I don't think anyone is attacking the issue with name sets for US Blacks yet.

Try getting a US cities list

change the value from 206 to 227 . . .

. . .and then see if you can set up a parallel USA to represent the separate world of segregated America circa 1920.
