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.
Connie's boy could just as well be 12 (they were married in 1945, remember) and at twelve, you sure can get arrested I think.
If little Anthony was 7 in 1958, because First Communions are held at the age of seven, then the idea of him being born in 1951 (which I think was yours, right?) could be true. I ask you where you get the fact he's supposed to be NINE from? Is that in the movie?
You say yourself Anthony is 3 when Vito died (which is 1955), so he could just as well be born in 1951/52 shortly after Mike and Kay married
