Some surprises when you find people in odd places or don't find them where you expect due to them being born somewhere obscure far from where they gained their fame. For example the "Greatest Canadian" (voted as such in some CBC special) Tommy Douglas does not appear in Saskachewan (most famous person here... Wrestler Roddy Piper actually) but rather a suburb of Edinburgh. Hey I'm learning something!

Would be tricker to compose a map that factors in where they lived independent from where they were born .
