The handout will be emailed after signing up for the workshop or be handed out at class time. You may bring a beverage in a lidded container and a snack.
    
Requirements: A laptop or a tablet that has Excel on it, as this will be a hands-on WORKSHOP, is a very big plus. A basic knowledge of Excel is also a plus. If you don’t have a laptop then come prepared to take lots of notes.

10:00 am to 12:00 pm
HYBRID: OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
 
Dates are central to genealogical research, but sometimes you find historical records with conflicting dates—or even impossible dates. This may be a recording error—or is the date recorded correctly, but using a different calendar than you expected? In this class, we’ll review historical calendars with a particular focus on the Julian and Gregorian calendars and then discuss how to cope with the diverse dating systems.
