every signle europian person (born in europe) that i've asked for TOB has said it on the dot
ie. 4am, 7am, 9pm.i doubt they were all born exactly at what ever hour. does anyone know how they round the numbers. is it just the closest to every half hour/15min/10 min?
do they only round up, or down, or both... would they say 9am for someone born at 8:45 and 9:15?? blahhh..does anyone know? IP: Logged |

Half an hour each side of the hour is what they round up or down to.Over 20:30 is 9 'o' clock
Under 21:29 is 9 'o' clock IP: Logged |

that doesn't seem to be the case always... incidentally, i don't have any friends (who were born in Europe, whose data i have) who were *born* at exact times. seems most round up within 5 minutes, but then my partner has 15:03. their ages vary from 25-50 so i'm also not sure if it's a generational thing.IP: Logged |

I think most people give you an approximate time as opposed to the actual time... which is why I say "I need an EXACT time" and make them call their parents.IP: Logged |

I know the birth times of two people born in Poland and one is 9:30 but the other is 10:40 so perhaps they don't round it up there...IP: Logged |

Well... This is an interesting topic. In Europe, as far as I know, the UK generally hasn't rounded off. But every country is different. I can tell you how it was in Belgium, because I do think it has experienced an interesting evolution with regards to recording times off birth.Let's just start with saying that there is no doubt that they now record the exact time of birth (according to the wall clocks mounted in the delivery rooms), my son has an exact time of birth of 22.41. One generation back and things change. My brother's time of birth is registered as 5.20 am. Now with his Venus spot on the rising I can imagine that was pretty spot on, but that's not always the case. Also, they weren't very strict about it. Another generation back and we witness something interesting: either my mother is born at 10 pm on the dot or times have been rounded off more. Yet, in my father's family, times seem to be rounded off very accurately (but still rounded off), my father was born 5 minutes before midnight Christmas, his youngest sister 45 minutes after midnight. Then, the generation before that (my grandparents) have times rounded off to the hour. The generation of my great-grandparents generally have the same, but the further down the family tree you go, the less accurate it seems to be. Generation 5 counting from myself, had times written down roughly "before sunrise", "at noon", "shortly before noon". The generation before that becomes "at night", "before noon", "in the afternoon" and the generation before that is mostly "time unknown" or "daytime" and "nighttime". It just shows how little people used to care what time of day someone was born on exactly. As for my time? It had to be rectified, the gyn who was supposed to deliver me didn't show up and the time was written down by him days later. In fact, my mother's description was probably more accurate that his, she said I was born about 3 or 4 hours after my brother on the hour  ------------------

every doctor has their own way of going about things. My ex from France was a minute before the new hour.IP: Logged |

lol Mine is 10.15 or 10.20 am 
My cousin: 10.45 am
My half-sis: 8.00 amI think it's a coincidence the people you know were born at those times. IP: Logged |

Actually, I've had problems getting my time of birth from the hospital I was born in (this is in Hungary). Eventually, when I did, the time was 10:20 am. But mum thinks I was born at 10:15 because she said she was staring at the clock in the delivery room and remembers it vividly.IP: Logged |

I'm lucky; my mum was studying astrology when she was younger. She made sure she had access to the time while me and my siblings were brought into the world.4.44 IP: Logged |
