Our ancestors had to deal with time--time of day, day of the month, the year and how they recorded each. As countries changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendars, countries implemented those changes differently. Dates were different and the identification of the date of the recorded Moveable Feast Days makes for challenges for the family historian. Multiple methods for determining the date when it is entered as a feast day will be illustrated.

Great! Two webinars about calendars in the same day! Yeah. They were both different and both excellent with very little overlap. Do I need 2 webinars? Yes, I do. So glad that I could get what I needed in a small time frame so that I don't apply one set of rules to a place it doesn't belong. This is how you dive deep on a day with "shorter than average" webinars. Well done!
This was information that was totally new to me and so valuable!
Very good explanation of a very complicated subject.
fascinating how the calendars changed and were so different
Some many facts on time. I think I will just leave figuring out the actual birthdates and anniversaries to someone else but I sure loved this presentation. There was so much I did not known the photos and graphics were fabulous!
Lots of information I had not thought of, great hints!
Very Informative.
worth having a legacy membership for this webinar alone
