The Roman calendar went from March 1st month through February 12th month. That is why September is 7, October is 8, etc. so it is accurate. In the American colonies at the time, they used the month number, as above. The Romans didn't renumber the months, Pope Gregory and the protestant rulers did,

Robert, This would find Individuals that have a Death Place, not a list of those locations. Like Ron, I don't think it can be done in Legacy. The closest would be to export people with a death place to a new file and do a location report but that would be messy picking out the death places.
