Could I please get Johannes Mayer's birthdate. Also, is there an online source that lists or explains how to figure out these religious events as an actual birth date?

Thank you,

Tina

The birthdate is not mentioned, it should be the date of baptism.
It is mentioned as "n festo ascensionis" (Christi Himmelfahrt) i.e. "Feast of ascension"
For dates before 1700 you have to notice that in some protestantic states there was still the Julian calender in use.
If the date was noted down in the Julian calender it is the 4th of May 1654, in our calender, the Gregorian calender, it was the 14th of May 1654.

Kind regards
Florian
