Hi Ana.

Sorry for the late response. If you have a gazetteer for PER, the
dirty trick is to add the lines from that gazetteer to one of the
existing PER lists. For example, Data/KnownLists/known_name.lst or to
Data/KnownLists/WikiPeople.lst  (if you're very confident in your
gazetter) or Data/KnownLists/known_names.big.lst if you're less
confident or to Data/KnownLists/WikiPeopleRedirects.lst if you're
really not confident.

The right way to do it is to add the Gazetteer as a separate file to
the KnownLists, as you're doing, but then you need to retrain the
system to learn which entity type (PER/LOC/ORG) to associate it with,
and to which degree the system can trust your list. However, I know
that few people have the CoNLL training data and I cannot distribute
it because it's copyrighted. So I don't know if it's an easy option
for you.

Hope that helps.
Best
