I'm not sure to get the problem. On the document shown as second picture, it reads (translated) : "Jean Thompson, born the ten floréal year twelve (30 april 1804)". So the regular latin date is clearly mentioned on that document. Was it not the document used when whatever problem that John had occurred, and this document is just here to show an example of the alternative calendar?

> "Jean Thompson, born the ten floréal year twelve (30 april 1804)". So the regular latin date is clearly mentioned on that document. I depends a lot on the documents. A lot of historical French documents only have the Republican date written. Even at the time anyway, it would not have been difficult to find the corresponding Gregorian date, even in England probably.
