Calculating Birth Dates[edit | edit source]

We all know that having birth dates helps us to complete the information for our ancestors and birth dates many times are much harder to find the further back you go. But many times we at least have the date of death with the age listed in Years-months-days.

This information can be found on

death records
old cemetery stones

church record
possibly Obituaries

So how does one calculate a date to get as close as possible to the date of birth? By using a Date Calculator.

The way to use it is to put in the date of death. Subtract the number of Years, Months, (weeks if given), Days; then click the calculate button. The answer is under the lower left corner under the colored box.

If for some reason you have the Date of Birth and have the number of Years/Months/Days when died you would put in the date of birth click Add followed by the number of years/Months/(weeks)/days then click calculate to get the date of death.

If you want to calculate and age use the Duration Between Two Dates Calculator
