Sounds Like An Interesting Project!
As For All That Info, As A Rather Big Lego Person, That Info Is Rather Trivial And Unknown..
However, His Son And Grandson (both of which took over the lego company one after another) Were Godtfred Kirk Christiansen And Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen..
Below Is A Wikipedia Of Him, Very Short, But What I Do Suggest If Finding A Family Tree Or Ancestor Website That Allows People To Find Their Ancestors Or Such..
But Over All, I'm Sure Many Lego Fanatics Do Not Even Know His Parents And Siblings, His Whole Family Other Than The Heads Of Lego.. (actually, the current CEO isn't related to the Christiansen family..
But I'm Trying To Find Out Right Now..
And If You're Wondering Why His Grandson Is 'Kristiansen' And Not 'Ch', I Remember Why, But It Just Slips My Mind Right Now..
But As For Achievements Or Awards, well, I Know He Had At Least Won Something Back Then, But Remember, Lego Was Not Building Blocks Back Then, It Was Wooden Toys Made By Ole Kirk And Some Small Staff..
Overall, I'm Not Totally Sure About All Those Info, And I'm Sure It's The Same For Other People, But I'll Try To Find Something And Update This Post If I Find Something At All..
Sorry About That And Not Getting The Info Your Son Needs Quickly, But Not Many Honestly Know..
Good Luck And Don't Hesitate To Contact Me About Other Info On The Company.. I'll Try My Best To Help You Out..

It amazes me how little teachers actually teach! What are they paid for? Not every child has access to computers, let alone the web.
Good luck with the homework.
