Hi everyone,

There are two entries in the GEO database:

When I see a date in the time period which uses double

17 Feb 1713/14 or 17 Feb
1714/15

Interesting reason for finding the DNA part of Legacy too intrusive. As an

I don't think that is quite right. The year used to start on March 25

Your argument about the DNA being intrusive is mute. If you don't want to
use it then Don't. The program still functions quite well when you do not

answer the first part of your question. If the date stated is from an original
source (such as a parish register) then it must be assumed that this is an "old

change in 1752, have been 1715. So the date in d
