Those pesky Latin dates!
It was bound to happen. I had been looking at will after will where someone had written a date in Latin. Latin of all things! Didn't our ancestors know better? Didn't they know that we probably wouldn't be speaking or writing in Latin in the 21st Century? Nooo, they had to go and use terms that most of us can't figure out without looking them up each time they are used.
After beating my head against the desk for the umpteenth time, I decided it was time to take some action and put those dates, phrases, and words in a place that would be easy for me to find. What follows are the results of those efforts.
