*Julian vs. Gregorian Calendar

In the old Julian calendar, New Year's day was March 25th, but in the new Gregorian calendar it is now January 1st. In many colonial American records you will find dual years listed for dates between January 1 and March 25. Also, over the centuries, the old Julian calendar had become out of sync with the seasons of the earth and the rotation around the sun. This resulted in the "lost days" when implementing the new Gregorian calendar. First established in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII decreed that October 4, 1582 would be followed by October 15, 1582 to compensate for this imbalance. Few countries were willing to implement this new calendar. After several previous failed attempts to change to the new calendar, The British Empire (which included the American Colonies) decreed that September 2, 1752 would be followed by September 14, 1752. Britain needed to add eleven days instead of ten because by the time Britain changed, the Julian calendar was eleven days off the Gregorian calendar and tropic year. This 1752 change also applied to the American colonies. You will frequently find dates between 1582 and 1752 listed as O.S. (Old Style-Julian) and N.S. (New Style-Gregorian) in order to aid the researcher.
