Hi All, I have a will in which the year 1796 (I think) is consistently written MayC and Ninety Six with an umlaut (two dots) over the "y" as far as I can read and represent it. I have thought the "C" might be for "hundred" and/or the "M" could be "thousand" but that would give "MDCC" and it is not that. Can anyone suggest what it should read? Any suggestions gratefully received. Christine
