Bill, 

I responded to several regarding this error, but apparently my response did
not hit the list.  First, let me say this is the first time I had occasion to
use the date calculator.

Now, when I originally entered the date into the calculator, I entered it as
4/12/1891 -- in the last date  position.  Then I entered the 65y 8m 27d info
and came up with the date I sent to you.  After the first question arose, I
went back and recalculated the date of birth.  And I entered it this time as
date of death 12 April 1891 and came up with the date of birth of 16 Jul 1825
that several others have come up with.

I then recalulated the original way I entered and paid attention to the dates
as PAF read them  When I entered the dates as 4/12/1891, PAF read as Dec 4,
1891 and throwing an incorrect date of birth.

The correct date is 16 Jul 1825.

My apologies for the error; and my thanks to the many who brought the matter
to my attention, and maybe to the attention of others who might make the same
error.
