If you do, you can put the birthday on the person's record, as an "anniversary" field that looks like, for example: anniversary: 1930-12-02 birthday It will show up properly in org agendas with the following settings (hope I haven't forgotten anything): (require 'bbdb-anniv) (setq org-agenda-include-diary t) (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries) Just another option...
