Julian Calendar

[iamken 0]

I have many people born under the Julian Calendar and died under the Georgian Calendar.

Instead of converting the Julian calendar for the birth in order to get the correct age of death, is there a way to do this keeping the birth date as the Julian date?

 

Thank You

Hi Kenny,

 

I think this is a good use of the Sort Date feature (available in Advanced mode). I always put in the "Date" field what was found in the source documentation for that event, then put in the "Sort Date" an appropriate date (possibly different from the "Date") that will make the event sort appropriatetly with all other surrounding events. "Sort Date" is never output in any reports, so its only use is for you to ensure the sequencing of events you desire. Would this work?

Oops! Just noticed that you want to be sure the age is calcuated correctly. This may not work for that. For such people you may want/have to customize your sentences so that you enter the age as text rather than having TMG calculate it.

Thanks Michael

I was just hoping that TMG would do this for me.

I think I will put in the sentence of the Julian date but put the Georgian date in the date field and not have the date in the sentence only the [AE] statement.

I will try that later
