Of which characters do you want to have the birthdays? I can help you 
with a list of first appearances of Barks-characters. In this case 
you can choose between two "birthdays":

1.  The date on which Barks sent his material to the editor. 
2.  The date on which the material was actually published.
 
> Yes! I have asked this question once before, but with no reply. 

I remember a reply in which was asked what you actually meant with 
"birthdays". For example: Scrooge was born in 1947, but in the 
Duckburg universe he must have been born a long time before that, 
because he was already an old man by then. 


PS. I think it's better that you send your question about the digest-
mode to "disney-comics-request at minsk.docs.uu.se".
