The Clifford Data Compendium presents the birth data of 500 famous individuals in a number of areas from entertainment to sport, politics to religion. It incorporates some of the most accurate data of leading figures found in other collections whilst including many data collected by the author, and some never before published.

The charts are contained in the file clif2000.SFcht.

Each data entry has notes presented in the following format:

Source - Details of where the data originated from (if not from the author’s archives) and the classification of the data is in brackets (see Data Accuracy below)

Real Name - If available and differing from name given

Profession - The various vocations for which the individual is primarily known

Biography - A short biography, including a few dates for further study

Some entries incorporate birth details of related individuals.

Data Accuracy

It is vital any data collections presented to the astrological community be as accurate and fully sourced as possible. There may, however, be the occasional update to this collection, and the author welcomes any corrections or additions.

All data are classified using the simple Rodden Rating system. All data presented in this collection are of AA, A or B standard. Unverified data have not been included.

Abbreviations found in the Notes section:

FCC - Author Frank C. Clifford

RR - Rodden Rating - a data classification system (see above)
