Ji Jackie,

I like
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/rg/frameset_rg.asp?Dest=G1&Aid=&Gid=&Lid=&Sid=&Did=&Juris1=&Event=&Year=&Gloss=&Sub=&Tab=&Entry=&Guide=WLFren
ch.ASP -- the link to numbers and dates is right on the first page.

Notice that after "60" you have to start applying a little math, i.e., 80 =
quatre-vingt (or, 4 x 20) ... 90 = quatre-vingt-dix!!

Hi All
Can anyone give me a quick lesson in reading French dates, mostly in the
1800s. I get the Mil Huit part, but not the year. So many of the Drouin
records are for a number of years, and my little book only goes up to sixty in
French.

thanks

jackie
