I think this comes with lots of difficulties. For example should you be evicted from your family farm that you've worked on your whole life when your 80 year old mother dies just because you haven't saved up enough money to buy it

I haven't tried the api yet, but the example on the home page says that "Lois" is a female name - when in fact, in the 1930s it was quite a popular male name with about 70 boys born each year named lois. Checkout http:/
