http://www.genfair.com/dates.htm The above link was posted on another list I belong to. I thought it might be of interest to any on this list who are researching European ancestry. This is a link that discusses the difference in naming a year between the various calendars that were used. I found out on the list I was on that Scotland did not adopt the same calendar England used. (Really confusing!) So, in case any one cares...here is a link that is sure to make your eyes spin. Gee I wonder what year it really is?!
