You opened a can of ....
Worms...go for it!
I did a search on biographies and there
are some extensive sites online...but the
problem as you stated: the biographies
should list the websites of the people...
Well it's just a matter of time before there
is a search engine which showcases just biographies and personal websites...In the
mean time start with these...you're right this
is very time consuming, but with the help of
a techie who knows "spiders" you could form a
relationship to build the world's largest search
engine for biographies; Sorry to break up these
posts but this project was more involved than
I thought it would be....thought some others might
be interested in biographies as well...

Good luck with your project...
