There was a strange incident that occurred in 1752 in september, when the world had lost 11 days. in september no date 3-13. so from the 2nd jump straight to the 14th. for those who want to see, please just set your computer calendar. cuman dear, for Windows users, can not see the calendar, for which pakek linux, ato which in addition to windows, try, set your computer date in september 1752.
On 2 September 1752, a strange thing happened that happens remains genealogists on their feet. On that day, the British Isles and all the British colonies, including the United States, lost 11 days - September 3 to 13. People go to sleep and when they woke up the next day, the date has been changed to 14 September. There is unrest in the rural areas because people think the government trying to cheat them out of 11 days of their lives. Although today disappeared in Britain in 1752, the number had gone elsewhere - France in 1582, Austria in 1584, and Norway in 1700.
Britain was among the last countries in the world to accept that they actually use the calendar disabilities. The Julian calendar - named after Julius Caesar, who adopted it around 45 BC - declared March 25 New Year's Day, adding that this year will be 365 days and 6 hours long. The Council of Nicaea adopted the official calendar in 325 AD As it becomes possible to measure the length of the solar year more accurately, astronomers discovered that the system exceeds the Julian solar year by 11 minutes, or 24 hours every 131 years, and three days every 400 years. Excess amounts to 10 days between 325 AD and 1582 AD
Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar, called the Gregorian calendar in 1582, when most of the world jumped forward by 10 days on October 5, thus restoring the vernal equinox, March 21. To prevent a recurrence of this error, he ordered that, in every 400 years, an extra day of leap year should be eliminated three times. To achieve this on a regular basis, he eliminated last day of February in the year one hundred and first two digits is not divisible by four without a remainder of one. So, it was removed in 1700, 1800, and 1900, but will not be eliminated in 2000.
All Catholic countries, following the orders of the Pope, implementing a new system. But England, then in trouble with the Church of Rome, refused to join the new calendar until the mid-18th century and then the difference has grown to 11 days. All land except UK Scotland, which converts the calendar 100 years earlier, now celebrating New Year's Day on January 1. In Russia, the Julian calendar is still used.
Although the official calendar, people in England and the colonies began using the Gregorian system at the beginning of the 16th century. Thus, many early colonial records including a double date, written as "12 Feb 1661/1662," shows that, although officially in 1661, some consider it to be 1662.
Genealogists, especially those just starting their search for ancestors, need to check the date found in English-speaking countries between 1582 and 1752. Is this the date listed as the OS (Old Style) or NS (New Style)? Is there a date listed as 1750/51? That means they're probably already between January 1 and March 24, which means that the 1750 is an old-style notation and in 1751, the new. Double these dates occur only in January, February and March - never in any other month and never after 1752.
Additionally, the dates in the 17th century often had months indicated by numbers and not names. This is because most months have Roman or "heathen" name and the Puritans and Quakers do not like them. Since March is considered as the first month of the year prior to 1752, the date before which might read like this: "13, 2 mo: 1683." It's a "13 April 1683." In general, the day came in the first and second, but to be sure, genealogists verify by comparing dates with other people in the same record.
Often, a change in the calendar will describe the birth of two children appeared to be too short a period. Thus, if a researcher finds that Joshua and Rachel Smith had a daughter Mary, born March 22, 1638, and from the record of a son, Henry, born February 27, 1639, it would seem that they were born 28 days apart, but it was really born 11 months separately, according to the old and new-style dating.
