At this time, "what you see is what you get". I never thought of the formats as "European" vs "American". I've always used the 21 Nov 1853 format in my genealogy research as that was the way I was taught to do it when I first started in the late 1960's and it appears to be a genealogy standard.
"When recording dates, use the accepted European standard of DAY, MONTH (spelled out) and four digit YEAR. This is different, for example, than most Americans are used to entering dates. Do not enter dates using a number format. If you enter a date as 02/01/01, people will not know if you meant February 1 or January 2 or if you meant 1801, 1901 or 2001. Example: 30 June, 1993" http://genealogy.about.com/library/lessons/blintro1e.htm Thanks for using Legacy.
