[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] September 31 ????

[Karl Krueger]

Does anyone know if the some groups using the old Julian calendar or some other time employed a September 31 day?
 
I have translated a course of life my grandfather wrote and in being very specific to some dates he also gives the days of the week. Therefore I could tell the dates he was using were according to the Julian calendar - 13 days off from our (Gregorian) calendar. But at one point he is quite definite on specific dates and days of the week but I find he is off by one day in this set of paragraphs. I wondered if by chance some people used 30 days in August and 31 days in September as this would explain it, however, my limited research online did not indicate such usage.
 
Now I just translated for someone something that was handwritten back in this same period as when my grandfather's story occurred. This person seems to indicate a birthdate of Sep. 31, 1894. Since this is now the second case in favor of a Sep 31 possibility I wonder if anyone else can shed light on this - or do we have two different people making mistakes.
