On the following page is a date calculator... it was talked about in the Rootsweb review: http://www.geditcom.com/DateCalc.html It says: The DateCalculator application is a free utility for many date calculations and conversions. It has the following capabilities: You can enter dates in a wide variety of ways and convert the dates into the GEDCOM format for dates. The DateCalculator supports the Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, of French Republic calendars and allows approximate dates and date ranges. Convert dates between the supported calendars. You can calculate the day of the week for any precise date. You can enter two dates and calculate the time span between those two dates. You can enter any time span and add or subtract it from or to the date. Most date utilities expect you to enter precise dates with a day, a month, and a year before they will do conversions or calculations. All features of the Date Calculator can be done on "fuzzy" dates. When fuzzy dates on converted, they will convert to the new calendar with the same precision entered in the original calendar. When time spans are calculated with fuzzy dates, the Date Calculator will calculate the maximum and minimum times that could possibly span the information given in the "fuzzy dates". When times are added or subtracted to or from fuzzy dates, the Date Calculator will calculate the range in dates that could possibly differ from the original date by the entered time span. Fuzzy time span calculations are sometimes useful to genealogists. For example, if you know someone was born in 1824 and died in NOV 1901, how old were they at death? Using the Date Calculator, you can calculate that the time span between these two dates is "BET 76y, 10m, 2d AND 77y, 10m, 30d". Thus, they were 76 or 77 years old with a greater chance of being 77. Adding or subtracting time spans to or from fuzzy dates can also be useful. For example, if you know someone died in NOV 1901 at age 77, when where they born? Using the Date Calculator, you can subtract "BET 77y AND 77y, 364d" from "NOV 1901" and find the possible birth dates as "BET NOV 1824 AND NOV 1825" (notice that date calculations always use the same precision as the input date). If you later find out they were born in 1824, then the birth date is narrowed down to NOV 1824 or DEC 1824. I thought it sounded pretty kewl!!
