  [S82] Wikitree, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Quaker_calendar_dates. Please note that Quakers did not use the names of months or days, believing them to be non-Christian in origin. Because of this they used "First Month, First Day" etc. Before the western calendar changed in 1752, First Month was March. SO... when you see a Quaker person's date of birth that says, for example, 11th Month 1740, that would convert to January, 1741, not November 1740. Here is a link to Swarthmore College's explanation: https://www.swarthmore.edu/friends-historical-library/quaker-calendar The best policy when researching original records is to write the dates the way that you see them. Some Quaker researchers have transposed the dates into what they thought were the ?correct? dates. As you can imagine, these types of erroneous conversions could seriously affect the family stories. Misdating may lead you to erroneously conclude, for example, that a woman was pregnant prior to marriage or that the children were born after the family moved to a new meeting.
