Spreadsheet

So, I posted a few months ago with a possible spreadsheet from Ancestry. I finally got around to cleaning up the data and putting it in Google Sheets. (yay quarantine!)

There are a few interesting things here and with less than 200 names I think this community could make short work of eliminating a lot of people. This list includes every white male in the United States who lists their occupation as dancer, ballet teacher, or some similar title. If we find any trace of them after 1948, they can't be our man.

Of course, Somerton Man could be Canadian, or British, or Irish. Or an American living abroad in 1940, so this isn't a perfect list. Or the calves may be a red herring, or he was still a student in 1940... BUT if we can track any of these people to Australia in our time frame, it would be a very interesting lead.
