	Bridget's post above (4/7/15) notes slight differences in dates between US records and Russian records. Until 1918, Russia was still using the Julian calendar which was 12 days out in 19th century (thru Feb 1900) and 13 days out in 20th cent. So their Bolshevik October revolution of 25/10/1917 took place on 7/11/1917 on New York's Gregorian calendar. Maybe this clears up the differences. The Julian calendar has a leap day if the year's divisible by 4. So does the Gregorian calendar except for century years, i.e., those divisible by 100. Century years only have a leap day if they're divisible by 400 in the Gregorian calendar.

	Thanks MGNV Also differences were due to mistranscriptions of originals sometimes and possilble deliberate deception in order to get schholoing rights or whatever for the children .. Brigid (Irish Spelling) is writing an other article about Samuel thiis time but may choose a different magazine to get it published in .. there;s enought to write a book now I think .
