Sholder <kevin.sholder@ncr.com> There is a web site that probably has the best information available on the date of the changeover from the Julian to the Gregorian Calendar. I am sorry I can't recall the URL. You should be able to find it by going to Cyndi's List and then going to the section on Calendars and Dates: http://www.cyndislist.com/calendar.htm You should be able to find what you want by snooping around through some of the links, including the first one. There is also a link to a sit which discusses "Old Style" and "New Style," which in general is how the Julian and Gregorian calendars were referred to - although Old Style was also used to describe the system of double-dating which existed in Great Britain and her colonies until 2 Sep 1752.
