[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] varying dates

[Margrit Weigel]

I have some "problems" with slightly different dates. After the SGGEE database my gr gr grandmother Friederike Hildebrandt, nee Krueger, was born May 5th 1844  and died May 20th 1937. In the "Wolhynischen Heften Nr.1" there is a story of a tombstone  which still exists in Korist where she lived and died. On this stone you find a Friederike Hildebrandt *Feb 22nd 1844 and died March 09th1937. On the same stone you find the names of her sons Gustav (*Feb.02.1878) and Ferdinand   (*Jul 24th 1880). But the dates we know are for Gustav *1877 and for Ferdinand *Jul13,1879 and death Oct16,1904 in Korist (on the tombstone his day of death is known as oct 14.1904). 

So I am rather sure that here my ancestors are buried. Does anybody else has experience with differing dates?

Futheron, even my father (born Oct 03, 1931) always told that he believed that he had another
birthday when he was small. Unfortunately there is noone left anymore whom I could ask. Could it perhaps be an advantage to be older or younger in the thirties in Volhynia?

If somebody has an idea, I would appreciate every answer.
