Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Which Ancestors Were Born on This Date?

Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing has a new mission for us:

1) Which of your ancestors were born on this day, 31 March? How can you find out? Tell us how you did it.

2) If you don't have an ancestor born on this date, then select another date in March and list those.

3) Share your findings in your own blog post, or in comments on this blog post, on Facebook or Google+.

I have no direct ancestors with a 31 March birthdate, but there were quite a few people in my RootsMagic database who were born on this date. I left off those who are still alive.
