Recently I was able to climb a genealogical brick wall. I had found the date of birth of my 4th great grandmother. BUT, the day was expressed as "2. dom post pasche 1710" or the 2nd Sunday after Easter 1710. It is not at all unusual for dates to be expressed in this manner, when you are researching church records, both in the USA as well as in Europe. I checked my Prayer Book for computation of the actual date. It did not give dates as far back as 1710. I checked with my clergy, no help there. When all else failed, I went to the reference desk at my local library. They were not able to provide an immediate answer. However, California has a valuable research tool, the Serra Research Center that is staffed to answer just such unusual requests. Eureka, they found it; in the year 1710, Easter was on 20 April. It might well be on the internet, I have not checked. REFERENCE: PARISE, Frank "The Book of Calendars", New York, Facts on File, Inc. pp 294-297 & 328.
