Er.
The easiest as far as I'm concerned is that you evaluate the snipet
and use birthdays from the Dates soup :P
I can see two possible (well designed) paths.
The first is to extend the affiliate record and have Avi's BD to scan it.
The second is to add the possibility to link people in the card file,
like what MoreInfo does if I remember properly.
Another soup would be the worst choice, design-wise.
Any addition like this wouldn't be easily synchronizable with other
names applications on other platforms unless they implement something
similar. You seem to have a very specific need.
And I still didn't understand where all the birthdays you had came from.
