Answer 1

This is a really good date calculator.  It's useful for more than genealogy too.  

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd....

I get Tuesday, 24 December 1878 using that calculator.

Answer 2

Sub 57 years from    November 1936

that gives you  November           1879

Sub 10 months from        Nov  that gives you  Jan

Sub   15 days from   Jan 8 (remember Dec has 31 days) that gives you 12/25/79

please check my math

And Billy that is what I told you earlier today. Quit going to Yahoo Answers trying to prove me wrong.

Answer 3

24 Dec 1878

All genealogy programs have a date calculator. There are a couple of web-based ones, but I don't have a link because I use Roots Magic.

Answer 4

Using Ted's and building on it..

if he was in the US, then you should also be able to find him in census records 1880-1930.  1900 or 1910 also is supposed to include month and year of birth.  

He should also have death certificate where he died.
