Hi Emily, et all,
If I may add my two cents here. :) This is exactly the reason that no
Quaker dates, should be EVER be changed from the original. Converting the
date to the modren calandar, makes the date incorrect.
Quaker dates should NEVER be changed or converted. :)

Greetings,
Priscilla's booklet arrived a couple of days ago and I've started digesting
it. The pictures are wonderful and the lay-out is very easy to read.
Thank you, Priscilla!
Priscilla --could you send me the full citation ofr the Gwynedd book, you
reference? It sounds like one I should have! <G>
I do have a question. You have the marriage of Evan Griffith to Jane Jones
as 29 Mar 1707 at Gwynedd MM. (p. 6) and I show the dating in Quaker style of:
3m, 29d, 1707
I'm no expert, but wasn't the calendar still on March as being the first
month of the year? If so, then the date would be more like June, wouldn't
it? I was never sure due to the 11 day problem, so I've always left the
dates as I have found them until I have time to convert and double check
everything.
Thanks a bunch!
Emily
