If you love researching your family history and you research in the U.S. and Britain, you should definitely know what this day is all about!

On this date in 1852…

In 1852, eleven days needed to be dropped in Britain in order for the calendar to sync properly with the other countries in Europe using the calendar. In Britain and the American Colonies, September 2 was followed by September 14. Thus, September 2 is today referred to as Calendar Adjustment Day.

So, if you’re looking for an ancestor that was here (or in Britain) in September of 1852, or you’re calculating a date that covers September of 1852, just remember they lost 11 days. September 3-13, 1852 do not exist!

Enjoy your research adventures, friends!
