EVA'S TIMELINE: ~INTRODUCTION~---timeline---related pages---site navigation
This will be added to as I learn more. I wish I had more now!
I plan to do timelines for all 12 major characters (5 siblings, 2 parents, and 5 spouses) on this website and maybe more, and then take the important events and put them together for an overview timeline. So far I've done Will, Alma, Fred, Laura, Eva, Mama Margaret, Papa Charles, and Will's wife Margaret.
