History
of Kingdom of Romania
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Romania |
|
The Kingdom
of Romania was the Romanian state based on a form of
parliamentary monarchy between 13 March 1881 and 30 December
1947, specified by the first three Constitutions of Romania
(1866, 1923, 1938). Thus, the Kingdom of Romania began with
the reign of King Carol I of Romania who gained Romanian's
independence in the Romanian War of Independence, and ended
with the abdication of King Michael I of Romania in 30
December 1947, imposed by the Soviet Union with the tacit and
secret, implicit consent of its allies (as a result of the
Yalta Conference and secret agreements). As such, it is quite
distinct from the Romanian Old Kingdom, which refers strictly
to the reign of King Carol I of Romania, between 13 March 1881
and 10 October 1914.
From 1859 to 1877, Romania evolved from a personal union of
two vassal principalities (Moldavia and Wallachia) under a
single prince to a full-fledged independent kingdom with a
Hohenzollern monarchy. In 1918, at the end of World War I,
Transylvania, Eastern Moldavia (Bessarabia), and Bukovina
united with the Kingdom of Romania, resulting in a
"Greater Romania". In 1940, Bessarabia, Northern
Bukowina, Northern Transylvania and Southern Dobruja were
ceded to the Soviet Union, Hungary and Bulgaria respectively,
only Northern Transylvania being recovered after World War II
ended. In 1947 the last king was compelled to abdicate and a
republic ruled by the Romanian Communist Party replaced the
monarchy.

Julian
& Gregorian Calendars |
|
On the 31st of March 1919, Romania changed its calendar, from
the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. As a result,
the date on the following day became the 14th of April 1919.
If you have a Romanian document which has a date on it prior
to April 1919, the date which appears there refers to the date
according to the Julian calendar.
To convert the date on a document issued in Romania prior to
April 1919 to the date according to the present Gregorian
calendar, add 14 days. The difference in the number of days
between the Julian date and the Gregorian date may change
according to the century. For rules of conversion,
refer to this link: http://www.hebrewcalendar.net/htdocs/main.en.html
which also converts to the Hebrew calendar.
This is probably the reason that many 19th and early 20th
century immigrants who came from Eastern Europe were not
certain of their date of birth.
Please note that the date change in the move from the Julian
to Gregorian calendar in Romania was not the same in all other
countries. These discrepancies may have also caused some
confusion. |
