The Immortal 636 Posted November 3, 2023 22 hours ago, Sinbabad said: Lusitania was the ancient name of Portugal, maybe this woman was Portuguese or had Portuguese origins ? I think you are right, her father's side of the family are of Goa Portuguese origin. The name makes a lot more sense now, thank you. Back on topic, a cricketer named Brian Brain died recently.

Somewhat famous but no Wikipedia page (so far), so I think he can go in this thread. Very surprised he didn't have a Wikipedia page during his lifetime considering he was a regular on network financial coverage and was high up in a major global financial institution... He got a pretty good package tonight on ABC World News for example. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
