Hope this makes sense and I don't contradict myself. Some of these dates are based off episodes from Beauty and Beast, Moonlight, and Touched by an Angel. Most I had to generate myself. I did have to alter the events of TV shows to fit with the Dyeland take on the story at times (i.e. on BatB Vincent and Catherine met on April 12, 1986, here it's April 12, 1984.) If you're part of Dyeland and would like something added, please don't hesitate to ask. However, I do need a year or span before I can add it. This is arranged chronologically so I need to know where to put things in order.
God bless,
Jenni
Pre-calendar:
Tess, Adam, Henry, and
Andrew are born. I think popular opinion is Tess it the oldest
followed by Adam. I'm not sure what the feeling is about who's
older: Henry or Andrew. I think some of us believe Henry is
older. Also, Sam I would figure to be older than Tess.

Monica is born, as stated in "Holy of Holies."

Josef is born somewhere in Eastern Europe. He's turned about
25-30 years later. The date is from ML, I chose the birth place.

Assuming she's an orphan, Vincent plans to adopt her and names her Psyche but Catherine learns of her cousins' missing child and connects the dots in.

It will later be discovered that baby JA was taken through a portal from NE to Dyeland (then Asteriana) and then went through another portal herself that led to the Tunnels.

Shaken and still wearied, Andrew is persuaded by the Dyelanders to go Home.
December 6, 2009- Andrew is welcomed back to Dyeland. Since his arm remains in a cast, he is given time off to rest there. In the weeks that follow, Andrew struggles with his limited abilities thanks to the broken arm. During this time, Andrew also begins to ponder a major-ish life change.

December 24, 2009- God gives Andrew a vision that, among other things, shows LJA with two children, Rose, Yva, Vincent, Jacob, and Catherine still very much a part of Dyeland, and Mick and Beth with one child and another on the way. It's unknown how literally true the vision is.

And so
it
goes...
What
we don't have and
it's up to people to add if they so wish:
-Birth
dates (with years/spans) for
everyone except my (Jenni's) characters. I have months and days
but often
not years. If people want, they can just give a span of time
(i.e. Father's birthday being listed only as "1920s or 1930s") in place
of a year. But since this is arranged chronologically by year, I
need something to go on with that to determine where it goes.
- When
did Steve show
up?
- I
became so focused
on arrivals, meeting, and birth dates that I probly didn't even take
note of some other momentous things so feel free to bring em up.
Basically I'm just looking for anything that was
a major turning point for the group or even just a character.
Something that a person might want to reference in a story and this
would keep them from having to search for dates on the AC, Encyclo,
posts, etc.
Thanks!
