In addition to reading a biography, learn more about your person by investigating these additional resources:

Hint:  Although each site works a little diferently, in general, it is best to phrase your search in the following order: 
Last name, First Name  - for example, King, Martin Luther Jr. 
BUT, if your search does not find any results, check that you have spelled the person's name correctly 
and repeat your search.  Next, try entering the name in First name Last name order. 
No luck?  Don't get discouraged, try another website.
