Craig, as long as we've got you engaged, and you do time at the uhmm, Mary Ball whatever that is, Library /Museum....what do they type if they were inputting George's birthdate...like officially :) [I am serious....I've / the yr, yrs and changed it to one or the other so many times, I have no idea what it is anymore......I want to see what the folks there would fill in the blank and I'll take your word for it: George Washington b. ______________. .

At the time he was born, it was 10 February 1731. The change in the calander added 11 days in September 1751, so in 1752 his birthday became February 22! And that is the date that is celebrated. So, on 10 FEB 17501 (O.S), his next birthday was on 22 FEB 1753! 10 FEB 1751 OS, 10 FEB 1752 NS Change 2 SEP SEP 1752, drop 11 days from calender Next day is 13 SEP 1752 and change beginning of new year 1 JAN 1753, new year begins 22 FEB 1753, his "new" birthday. Here's a link for you: http://www.archives.gov/legislative/features/washington/ and http://www.infoplease.com/spot/gregorian1.html This last site corrects some mistakes I made in my post to the list yesterday. It was 1752, and not 1751, and change took effect Sept. 2, 1752, and the next day was Sept. 13, 1752.
