Notes |
- I cannot get the software to accept 1739 without it automatically changing to 1739/40. Ah!
Double Dates Family Tree Maker can display double dates to account for the crossover between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. If you enter a date that falls between January 1 and March 25 for any year before 1753, a double date will appear.
Double dates work as follows: you can type either Jan 1, 1493/4 or Jan 1, 1493/1494; both display as January 1, 1493/94. If you don't type in both of the years, Family Tree Maker interprets the year you typed as the second year. For example, if you type January 1, 1494, it's displayed as January 1, 1493/94.
Info found by Gwenda Charlson: - "1740 Feb 3 Sally Dr of Thomas and Ann Whitaker from North Bradley Parish, the 11th of June last, 30 minutes past 11 o'clock at night." [1]
