OK Pherdy, it makes sense if you move Vito's birth to 1891. I was going by a couple of other timelines I found which gave Vito and Roth born in the same year (1892). But I'm prepared to accept Geoff's as "definitive". My point about Fredo being 26 was that John Cazale loked older that 26, that's all. Couple of other little things, at the first communion party in GFII does someone say that Connie has been divorced twice?? If so that has happened in three years...which I suppose is possible. Michael says that her oldest boy has been in trouble with the police in Reno, but he could not be more than 10...again it is possible he's a bit wild. Also the directions for the script give te date as Fall 1958 but describe Anthony as nine making his birth 1949. But I was brought up a Catholic myself and first communion where I grew up always took place at age 7.
