I have a 1609 birth record for a Maria Weissensteiger that seems to say Donnerstag 28 Sept. However, 28 Sept in 1609 was not on a Thursday, as far as I can tell from calendars on the web. The record is here, if anyone wants to take a look. https://public.me.com/uaine Thanks. best, Paul
Paul, you surely know that Protestants and Catholics used slightly divergents calendars for some period of time, but I do not remember when exacly. See the Grotefend, that I have mentionned here a while ago: http://www.manuscripta-mediaevalia.de/gaeste/grotefend/grotefend.htm Etienne Le 4 sept. 11 à 14:53, Paul Carr a écrit : > I have a 1609 birth record for a Maria Weissensteiger that seems to > say Donnerstag 28 Sept. > > However, 28 Sept in 1609 was not on a Thursday, as far as I can tell > from calendars on the web. > > The record is here, if anyone wants to take a look. > https://public.me.com/uaine > > Thanks. > > best, > Paul
No, I do not "surely" know that Protestants and Catholics used slightly different calendars for some period of time. I looked at the Kalender link, but I see nothing that tells me how to solve this problem. Thank you for the effort.

Well, you already received an answer. But let me point it out. Yes, you are right looking at a Gregorian calender (Monday). No, you are wrong looking at a Julian calender (Thursday).

Also, remember Alsace didn't adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1648. Which would coincide with The Peace of Westphalia, when Protestant Alsace became a possession of Catholic France. Any dates you have in 1648 in Alsace you'd want to be very careful with. There's probably an 11 or 12 day gap in there somewhere. Ergo the clerk was right it was a Thursday and the date you have is a Julian date. Brian On Sun, September 4, 2011 8:26 am, Ralf Stamporek wrote: > Well, > you already received an answer.

Oops, almost forgot. Strasbourg didn't switch until 1682. Brian
