==Gregorian Calendar Start Dates for Switzerland==
This calendar was created primarily for Germany, but it can also be used for Switzerland. The following dates will assist you in determining when the Julian Calendar system stopped being used in your research area. Although Germany had changed over to the Gregorian Calendar by 1700, parts of Switzerland were still using the old Julian Calendar until 1812 when Napoleon modernized these areas under (temporary) French rule and brought them into the Gregorian Calendar system.
