The Anniversary Calendar shows the persons and families who are linked to an event at a certain day or month or during a certain period of time. It has an advanced filtering system to select the right date, period, and events for you.

View Day

This shows the events on a certain day, independent of the selected year. Output will be either a single list with the names of individuals or families, or a two-column list with individuals on one side and families on the other.

View Month

In this calendar the names of individuals and families are shown inside the Day boxes. The calendar is shown as it was in the year you entered into the Year box. All events that happened in the past up to that year are shown.

In combination with the option Recent Years (< 100 yrs), it will give a realistic view of what a calendar of your ancestors looked like.

View Year

This shows the events in a certain year or during a number of years. Output will be a list with the names of individuals or families, or a two-column list with individuals on one side and families on the other.

The currently shown day and month are highlighted in the calendar menu.

All names and dates are clickable. When you click on a name you will be taken to the relevant Details page. Clicking on a date will jump to "Today" or "Year" mode, which will display all events for the day and month in the clicked date.

DAY SELECTOR

The top row of the Selector table is the Day selector. Its meaning is obvious: You select a day.

The result of clicking on a certain day depends of whether you are in Day or in Month mode.

Day mode

In this mode, you click a day, the screen will refresh, and the list for that day will be displayed.

Month mode

You have the calendar of a certain month on the screen. You click a day and the screen will refresh, but you will still see the month that you had on the screen before. The reason for this is that you can still decide to select another month, year, or event before you either click the View Day or View Month button.

At the end of the Day row you will see a Quick Link with today's date. Clicking that Quick Link will display the list for today in Day mode, no matter whether you are in Month or in Day mode.

MONTH SELECTOR

The middle row of the Selector table is the Month selector. Its meaning is obvious: You select a month.

The result of clicking on a certain month depends of whether you are in Day or in Month mode.

Day mode

In this mode, you click a month, the screen will refresh, and the list for that month will be displayed. All other selections like day, year, and events will be unchanged.

Month mode

When you have the calendar on the screen and click a month in the Month row, the calendar for that new month will be displayed.

At the end of the Month row you will see a Quick Link with today's month and year. Clicking that Quick Link will display the list for that month in Month mode, no matter whether you are in Month or in Day mode.

YEAR INPUT BOX

This input box lets you change that year of the calendar. Type a year into the box and press Enter to change the calendar to that year.

Advanced features for View Year

More than one year

You can search for dates in a range of years.

Year ranges are inclusive. This means that the date range extends from 1 January of the first year of the range to 31 December of the last year mentioned. Here are a few examples of year ranges:

1992-5 for all events from 1992 to 1995.
1972-89 for all events from 1972 to 1989.
1610-759 for all events from 1610 to 1759.
1880-1905 for all events from 1880 to 1905.
880-1105 for all events from 880 to 1105.

To see all the events in a given decade or century, you can use ? in place of the final digits. For example, 197? for all events from 1970 to 1979 or 16?? for all events from 1600 to 1699.

Selecting a range of years will change the calendar to the year view.

VIEW DAY / VIEW MONTH / VIEW YEAR BUTTONS

• The View Day button will display the events of the chosen date in a list. All years are scanned, so only the day and month can be set here. Changing the year will have no effect. You can reduce the list by choosing the option Recent years or Living people.
  
  Ages in the list will be calculated from the current year.
• The View Month button will display a calendar diagram of the chosen month and year. Here too you can reduce the lists by choosing the option Recent years or Living people.
  
  You will get a realistic impression of what a calendar on the wall of your ancestors looked like by choosing a year in the past in combination with Recent years. All ages on the calendar are shown relative to the year in the Year box.
• The View Year button will show you a list of events of the chosen year. Here too you can reduce the list by choosing the option Recent years or Living people.
  
  You can show events for a range of years. Just type the beginning and ending years of the range, with a dash - between them. Examples:
  1992-4 for all events from 1992 to 1994
  1976-1984 for all events from 1976 to 1984
  
  To see all the events in a given decade or century, you can use ? in place of the final digits. For example, 197? for all events from 1970 to 1979 or 16?? for all events from 1600 to 1699.

When you want to change the year you have to press one of these three buttons. All other settings remain as they were.


TIP
Adjust the Date selector to any date in the past.

When you click on one of the View buttons you will see a list or calendar for that date. All the ages, anniversaries, etc. have been recalculated and now count from the date you set in the Date selector. You are now seeing the calendar or list that your ancestor would have seen on that date, years ago.
