Class design - return list <object> from <object>

Question

Given a simple class:

public class Person 
{
    public string FirstName;
    public string LastName;

    public string GetFullName() 
    {
     return FirstName + LastName;
    }
}

A user of this class will populate an object List<Person>by reading an Xml file or other data source. Should the list filling logic be in the Person class or remain in the calling class? In other words, should there be a method public List<Persons> GetPersons()in the Person class or in the calling class? Or should access data in another class at all?

I know this is a pretty simple question, but I'm just wondering how others usually do it.
