Default So who is familiar with Chinese calendar? I need some help here

I need to find my grandma's Gregorian(western) birthday.

She turned 86th on May 30th 2010(Gregorian calendar this year). I think they counted her 9 months in the womb to get to that age.

All I need to know is her Gregorian birthday to know her real(Gregorian) age.

I'd appreciate it very much as it is important to me and before that thanks.

I assume that it is 86 Gregorian years, and 9 Gregorian months
therefore, i think she was born on Saturday, February 28, 1925

Umm She turned 86 on May 30th 2010 this year on the Gregorian calendar that's after converting from Chinese calendar by some relatives.
And that's counting her 9 months in the womb like Chinese traditionally do.
She was also born on the year of the ox (Chinese zodiac).

Anyway since I can't feasibly check on the date I must thank you and assume it's accurate(The online calendar converter was useless with the information I had).
Thank you the_tyrant. Owe you one for this! .
Means a lot to me to know her Gregorian birthday.

She's been sick and I'm really close to her. If she passed away I would feel the loss quite bad though I can understand it's her time and we'll meet again.

Aah lucky you I guess
Your life is spread in front of you! Go get them! Your future wife, future children, future home, future career! People at your age usually are planning to take over the world LOL.

1986.....you're a kid, be kind and courteous to older folks especially here at subsim me including
What language do they use there in Slovenia? I take it not English? You on the other hand seems to have a good grasp/command of English!
