Bert has pointed out to me off-list that the 1st January 1000 was a Wednesday,
You would think that answering a question about dates would be easy and straightforward. Unfortunately, calendars are political documents about which there has been much argument. In other words ... you are about to step in something.
On September 2, 1752, an odd happening occurred that's still keeping genealogists on their toes. On that day, the British Isles and all the English colonies, including America, lost 11 days--September 3 through 13. People went to sleep and when they awoke the next morning, the date had changed to September 14. There were riots in rural villages since the people thought the government was trying to cheat them out of 11 days of their lives.
