[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Hauf

[Sigrid Pohl Perry]

Dolly,

The difference between the two reported birth dates is 12 days. That's 
exactly the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The 
Gregorian date which we use would be the later date. Polish and German 
records would have used that date. Russian officials who had anything to 
do with requiring dates would have insisted upon the Julian calendar 
date. So, if you also have other information that shows this Daniel Hauf 
to be part of this family, I think the calendar issue resolves the 
difference in birth dates.

Regards,
Sigrid Pohl Perry
