Why is a date sometimes listed as 1710/1711? What does WFT EST 1826-1860 mean? What is Lady Day? What was the first day of the year in Virginia in 1750 (Hint: It was not 1 January)? What is an Ahnentafel numbering system? What full name corresponds to the nickname "Lemuel"? What is the modern equivalent of the 18th century occupation of "Waiter"? Have fun testing your genealogical knowledge of seemingly trivial, but often important, genealogical facts and standards.
