Ever wonder what an ancestor's net worth would be in today's dollars. I figured somebody must have worked out a formula, and they have. With all wonderful work by Barbara and Maynard on wills and legal cases involving monetary figures, I thought this might be helpful. The site below only converts money's worth back to 1800, but as an example, $15,000 in 1800 dollars becomes $208,333 in 2001 dollars.
