Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories. They describe the settlement of the area and the founding of churches, schools, and businesses. You can also find lists of early settlers, businessmen, local leaders, and civil officials. Even if your ancestor is not listed, information on other relatives may be included that will provide important clues for locating the ancestor. A local history may also suggest other records to search. | Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories.

The Gregorian calendar is the calendar in common use in the world today. It is a correction of the Julian calendar that had been in use since a.d. 46. Leap years had been miscalculated in the Julian calendar. By 1582, the calendar was ten days behind the solar year. | The Gregorian calendar is the calendar in common use in the world today.

In Germany the switch to the Gregorian from the Julian calendar was determined by the local politics. Therefore, some parts of Germany switched as early as 1582, other parts of the country waited until 1700, and many places switched somewhere in between. For further details about calendar changes in Germany and how it affects genealogists, see the Germany Research Outline (34061). The British Empire, including Canada and the United States, switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. Russia did not switch to the Gregorian calendar until the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Russian Orthodox Church still uses the old calendar to calculate holidays. | In Germany the switch to the Gregorian from the Julian calendar was determined by the local politics.
