Dick Eastman must've been reading our newsgroup. He has a (paid) article on double-dating today!
To answer your question, my ancestor with the double-date was in Friesland, The Netherlands. I don't know if any others in my tree have that dating style; I haven't noticed any others yet. My oldest ancestor's DOB is 1735, also Friesland, The Netherlands. I am also working on my spouse's family tree, (separate .fdb), who were here in the late 1700's, AFAIK. I haven't run into any double dates there, yet, but I will watch out for them. I might try to run a search on my databases, checking for any other double-dates. I still don't know how that date got into my tree, as I mentioned before, the "original" record from my old tree was only 1746.
