List,

I hope this is considered a genealogy problem and sutiable to this list.  I
have to figure dates for myself , I do not have a PAF date caluclator.  So now
someone is going to have to help dummy figure out this.

back 27 days
                    7-16-1825 age    0y 0m  0d  date of birth

Ok where is my error?  A thought just accured to me PAF reads day month year.
If the date was entered as 4-12 1891 PAF would read it a 4 DEC 1891 not Apr
12,1891.

It is better to ask a question and be fool for one minute than keep ones mouth
shut and remain a fool forever.   So end my foolishness please.
