Dear Jim and Bert,
Thank your for looking into this for me. I will try to reproduce a
part of my data and the plot I have.

53 03 04 -1.06661138281899
till the year 2006. The length is 1575

Data B:

57 09 23 -5.69132573226493
57 09 26 -3.6296458026372
to  the year 1994. The length is 1203.

The plot is attached. How to label the x-axis is the problem.
I will send the code in another email so that the moderator will let it go.
Thank again
Best
