Level A : Matches where I had a visionary dream or incident related to the person before ever meeting them (or knowing of them) in this lifetime, and before actual realization of the past life.  I then met the person and located the past life later.  In cases of my own past lives, this would be a vision, dream, or emotional intuition experience where I felt I was in another situation in another time, but did not realize at the time that I was experiencing past life recall.  I consider the integrity of these matches to be quite high since, at present, I simply cannot think of another explanation for these occurences and the subsequent historical personality and portrait matches. 

Level B : Matches where I had a visionary dream, incident, or feelings relating to the person after meeting them (or knowing of them) in this lifetime, but before fully realizing that this was a past life connection.  

Level C: Matches where I had a visionary dream relating to the person before meeting them in this lifetime, though after suspecting or realizing the past life through other people.

Level D : Matches where I had a visionary dream or intuition relating to the person after meeting them (or knowing of them) in this lifetime, and after realizing the past life.  I felt that I recognized the person, had a feeling for the time period, and then sought out the historical portrait within that time period.

Level E : Matches where I ran across a portrait while researching a past life and immediately related it to a current life person. 

Level F: Matches for lives I don't (or did not) believe I was personally in, but where I had an very intuitive feeling that this person was the specified historical personality.  Note: Several level F matches turned into level B matches later - when I realized that I actually was with the person in that time period.  This would be the case with people such as Brian Greene (in my opinion, the reincarnation of Sir Isaac Newton (see Century 17)) whom I recognized before fully realizing my lifetime as Robert Boyle.

Level IS : Matches independently realized (either consciously or sub-consciously) by others who expressed some feelings of connection or affinity for a person, place, organization, and/or time period.   I then intuitively investigated whether their feelings might mean that they or people currently with them were alive and together in the specific time period.

Level I: Matches discovered completely independently by others without any input from me.

Notes:

(1) In a few cases, levels indicated here can be different for the same person.  One example is Jeff Keene, who would have a Level I * for his lifetime as General John B. Gordon (since the Civil War lifetime is Jeff’s own independently realized past life which I find plausible), while having a Level B indicator for his lifetime as Arthur de Richemont (See Century 15 France) since Jeff's lifetime as Arthur was my own personal recognition.

(2) At this point, the most reasonable and logical explantion I have for my experiences and the subsequent matches is that this is reincarnation of a personality energy (soul) - which, from knowing many of these people personally, appears to be whole and intact.  Furthermore, this "energy" appears to affect the physical manifestation of people, somewhat like a fingerprint.  Because of this, I am inclined to conclude that the flashbacks, memories, emotions, and recognitions I have experienced are due to memory and consciousness of my own past lives; a consciousness which does not stem from a known physical source such as the brain.  In short, after witenssing many coincidences and connections converge into meaningful explanations, instead of asking myself how this can be true as I did at first, I now more often ask myself how it can be anything but reincarnation.

(3) While most of the information here concerns people I recognized from various lifetimes, some of it includes people for whom a set of unusually "coincidental" experiences seemed to lead me to a past life identification.  Despite this second group of hypothesized matches,  I do not generally try to identify or "channel" information concerning other people's past lives at random or on request.
