List members -
Please forgive me if this is off subject but a recent URL that was posted to
one of my lists led me to this article which I felt should be shared. The
subject of how dates were recorded prior to the year 1752 in different
countries has recently become an issue in my research and i just wanted to
let others know about this article that explains when the changes in the
calendars occurred for each country from Julian to Gregorian, etc. It also
explains how historians noted this change in their record books to help
clarify for those of you who have reached this period in your family
histories.
