[LM_NET] Birthday Buddies

[Carol Van Brocklin <carolannvan@MOTIMAIL.COM>]

Hi Everyone: 

I would like to have our 2nd and 3rd graders do a quick assignment involving 
biographies where they have to find out about a person all of the elements from 
biography hash (which we will do the week before). In other words, they have to 
find year of birth, schooling, why they are famous, why people may have thought 
they were crazy and when they died. May have a few more elements in there still 
thinking that out. 

I am hoping that the kids can each find someone who was born on their birthday so 
do this research on, but the sites that I have found that list who was born on a 
certain day are not very helpful. They have people, but few of them are people that 
any 2nd or 3rd grader would know about (and in some cases, even the librarian 
didn't know them.) 

Does anyone have a good site that may be helpful for this? 

Thanks for any help that people can give me.
