In the event you don't have a computer close at
hand to do the calculating:

REMEMBER 8870
That's not an error: It's the number to remember
when you want to find the birthdate of someone
when you only have the date of death and age.
How do you figure the birthdate? Suppose the
person died May 6, 1889,
at the age of 71 years, 7 months, 9 days.
****Write the year, month, day as:->18890506
****Subtract the age at death:------->710709
****This gives the figure:--------->18179797
****Now subtract 8870:----------------->8870
****The result is:----------------->18170927
Year 1817, 9th month (Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept,
1817
