Timeline
This timeline covers general Family knowledge--general pupblic records/knowledge are even more scetchy. I tried to be true to the information 1st from the Corwin Chronicels, then with minor help from the "Visual Guide to Castle Amber" (Names, part of Caine and Flora's geneologies). I could not figureout how to reconcile the Corwin books Flora (born befor Julian) with the events/pesonallities as I see them working. Any sugestions? (also, let me know if I've left any significant info out).

In the game alot of dates are uncertain. Early on Oberon wasn't very concered about keeping records (he liked to have control of everything, including who knew what). After records were being used there is indication (from the Castle library at least) that someone(s) went through on several occations and tampered (in a variety of ways) with certain info. Plus unrecognised birth and births in Shadow tend to be poorly recorded.
For people born in Shadow the Amber date coraltes, as well as possible, with the individual Shadow to Amber time differance.
