[#31189] The start of the new year

[Gjest Carl Ellis]

In 1752 the english parlament changed new years day from March 25 to Jan 1 Germany used dec 25, Russia September, What did Norway use and when did it change I have a great grand father that was born dec 31 1831 and baptised in Jan of 1831. If i have the correct one.

[Gjest Robert Bjerke]

In 1831, Norway used the same calendar we do today. However, the church year began with the first sunday in Advent. And sometimes the pastors wrote the parish registers in such a way (carelessly sometimes), that it looks like an event in December of 1830 occurred in 1831.
