How to read the timeline
The fill color identifies the person’s role. Yellow means patriarch; the labeled samples show every role.
Stripes and dashed borders: a birth or death date is unknown. The line covers recorded events only, not a complete lifespan.
Arrow: this person also appears in another period. It does not change the meaning of the fill.
A line shows a life, reign, ministry or recorded activity. The selected person’s date label states which. A line ends at a recorded death.
c. means approximately. Period boundaries and church-age dates are rough guides, not exact historical cutoffs.
Period tiles have equal widths for navigation. People’s lines use the year scale within the selected period. Dashed ends may also mark a line clipped by that period’s edges.
The sloping striped bands connect the selected rows. They are navigation guides, not lifespans or date ranges.
