For my Grandfather's 80th birthday, we are trying to come up with a good list of events and famous births from the year 1924. Where can I look for this information, and is there a way to look up his exact birthdate of April 23, 1924? |

Dear misterrachel-ga, I am assuming that you are US based, so this research is on US information. If this is not the case, then do ask for clarification. There are several famous birthdays for 1924. These include Doris Day, Marlon Brando, George Bush and Jimmy Carter. There is a long list on this page. http://famousbirthdays.com/bday_123.html If this does not work got to the main page and access ?birthdays by the year?. http://famousbirthdays.com/ Events during this year included: 02/12/1924 Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" premiers at Carnegie Hall (NYC) 05/10/1924 J Edgar Hoover appointed head of FBI 06/15/1924 Native Americans are proclaimed US citizens 11/30/1924 1st photo facsimile transmitted across Atlantic by radio These pages will give details of many more events which occurred that year, all give the exact day and month. http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/75th/missing/1924.html http://www.greenepa.net/~barondin/library/1924.html http://aruba.asinah.net/en/wikipedia/1/19/1924.html Media History timeline http://www.mediahistory.umn.edu/time/1920s.html New products http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_new_product_introductions Music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_trends_in_music_(1920-1929) What was on the movies? http://www.moviefolio.com/movies_1924.cfm http://www.imdb.com/SearchBusiness?1924 Why not buy a movie poster for a film which was popular that year? http://www.posterlovers.com/movies/years/1924movieposters.htm Baseball scores http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/chronology/1924APRIL.stm You could try the Newspaper Archive for a newspaper of the relevant date in your grandfather?s area. (I have no personal knowledge of how good this site is) http://www.newspaperarchive.com/DesktopDefault.aspx A good search strategy on Google for local events would be: timeline 1924 ?name of place? OR 1924 "name of place" history I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as soon as I receive it. Thank you, and congratulate your grandfather for me on the day. answerfinder Search strategy Variations of: timeline 1924 ?April 23? ?23 April? events almanac | |

Chuck Harmon was born on Wednesday, April 23, 1924, and began his Major League baseball career on April 17, 1954, with the Cincinnati Redlegs. The 30 year-old played for 4 seasons on 3 different teams and ended his big league playing career in 1957. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=harmoch01 On April 23, 1924, Congress adopts a bill that provided bonuses in the form of twenty-year certificates to World War I Veterans below the rank of major.
