Totally helpful in keeping track of people and time periods. Way to go!
wow, i love the time tree! i have looked at it a million times, haha, but it is so helpful!
Hey! what is the closest town to Fresno? If you ever have the time it would be cool if you could make a map!
I could try to find a map of the valley in the late 1800s. 😉
Thanks!
Mrs. M, the link to the Milestones book Trailers leads to here. I can’t find the trailers.
Thanks, Caitlyn! There are always snafus when setting up a new site. You have an eagle eye. Keep up the good work. Come to find out, a couple of the other links to other trailers were not working either. All fixed now. 🙂
I’m just wondering, do you have death years for Andi’s grandparents and great-grandparents?
I think I only have the years they were born on the family tree, not their deaths.
Could I make up when they died for short story contests?
Yes, ma’am!
Mrs.m when well the New Andi books be released
March 2022 but I will probably get them early. 😉
Yay can’t wait. 🥳🥳
Where did Justin graduate from?
~Anna Elizabeth
Law School of Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts founded in 1817
#students in 1870 = 150
#professors = 7
Thanks!
Also, how many acres is the Circle C Ranch in 1874?
~Anna Elizabeth
Yikes! I always just say thousands.
This is so neat!! Thank you!!
Did Peter go to prison for killing Ben Decker? If so how long was his sentence?
You should be able to find the answer to that at the end of the Price of Truth book. 😉
Okay thanks I haven’t read price of truth in awhile
it’s Ellianna Coulter Carter’s birthday! Happy Birthday Ellie!!!
I was Just wondering in the books Lillian’s Middle name is Joy, but on the Family tree it’s Grace Witch one is it Mrs M?
The one that is stated in the book. 😉
I fixed it. Thanks for eyeballing that. 🙂
Your Welcome And How did Daniel’s Siblings Die?
Oooh, good question! I have no idea. LOL But they died as infants. Babies died a lot back then.
Oh I see That Means Andi only had one Cousin!
Yes, on her Dad’s side. She has cousins on her mother’s side but has never met them….. Hmmmm potential short story or fan fiction!
Hey Mrs. M how old was andi when her dad died?
Andi was five and a half, almost six.
Funny question, when you say jared is born. The picture that goes along with it. Is that the actual model of the andi books and her baby?
It sure is. That is Jessica and her third baby, Jackson. Jackson is also the cute baby on the cover of Stranger in the Glade.
Thanks!!
How many children does Jessica have?
She has three boys.
What Are Jessica’s boys names? 🙂
I know Cole and Jackson but can’t think of the middle boys name. Sorry
I thought it was Ryder?
Oh yes! Good for you. That’s it. 😉
Is Jackson Sill a Baby?
He is two years old now and Jessica says she would take family pictures so I can have a two year old Jared. 👍
That is So Nice!
And Could you Tell me the middle boys name if you remeber?:)
Of whom? Jessica’s boys? Not a clue
Yes, Jessica’s BoysI saw that photo of her boys on cover fun!
When (what year/month) does Andi finish school?
Usually the end of May or first week of June
Thanks,
what year for good tho?
Oh….. At the end of The Last Ride… 1885
did** not does
Hey Mrs. M what year was melinda and peter married?
@horselover28
Melinda and Peter got married in September 1884. It says in the book “Courageous Love”.
Thx, faithful followers who can answer these questions faster and better than I can! 👍
Thank you!!
Hey Mrs. M. Just want to make sure but isn’t slavery still going on in the Andi books. I looked it up and slavery was banned in California between 1849 and 1861. But slavery was still going on in other states. Right?
No, not during the Andi books (they take place between 1874-1890). Slavery was demolished via the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Lincoln in January of 1863. When the North won the Civil War, then for sure no slavery (War ended April 1865). The only books that would still be during the Slavery time period is the Goldtown Books. But since California joined the Union as a free state, slavery was banned in California even earlier than the Proclamation.
Ok, thanks!!
Just gotta say, this pic of Andi as a little girl in the top timeline is ADORABLE!! <3
@Faith H! she is Really Adorable!!!!!!CUTE
Quick something I want to asked you Mrs m, where is says on the family tree,the X’s is on Greta, Paul and Ruth why is there not an X on James?
Because he did not die in childhood
Hey Cool! I no not that Ellie &Chad had girl& boy! cool love name Thomas!
Did you make up the name “Prescott”?? or did you get it from A City in AZ??
I made it up.
Oh, there is a town called “Prescott” in Arizona! I thought that is were you got it! I like that name!
Hey Mrs. M. When did Luiza, the housekeeper, come to be with the Carters?
Ooh, I don’t know. She’s been there since at least the Stepping stones
Do u think she was there when Andi was born?
Sure. Sounds good to me!
She is married to one of their foremen, Diego
And I remember reading something about chad holding andi as a baby and rocking her by the fire. Do your by any chan e k ow what book that is in??
It’s not in any of my books. Fan fiction?
It’s in the Milestone book, the day before Riley and Andi get married. Actually, I think it’s in a post on your website. I’ve read it. Andi finds these letters that were written by her family when she was a little girl that were meant to be read by her the day before she gets married.
I think not. The only letter Andi receives in the BOOKS is from Aunt Rebecca on her wedding day. If you can send me the page number, then I will repent. LOL
It is NOT in a post either. The only thing you might be referring to is the wonderful story by Anna Parks. She has some letters in there. Would this be what you are talking about?

It might be in this story by Anna Parks.

Btw thanks!☺️
When did troy get arrested
When (month and day) is James Carter’s birthday?
I only know his year of birth (on the family tree), so you can make it up.
Greetings!
Question here! When Will Benton (the gentleman outlaw who kidnapped Andi and Elizabeth in Andi to the Rescue) was taken to jail after being found did Andi take his daughter’s letters with her to read to Mr. Benton in the jail when Elizabeth went to teach him how to read?
Sorry if I did not word that well, I can try to explain it more if needed.
Thank you for your time!
~AWriterForAndiCarter
Although it’s not part of the actual book, they said they would do it, so yes, they did. 🙂
Perfect! That helps a lot!
Thank you!!
How far apart are Andi and Riley? In “The Last Ride” when Andi’s 15, Riley says that he’s well into his 19th year. Above though, they’re 2-3 years apart.
Into his 19th year means you are 18. Like a baby in his first year is not one year old yet. It’s a little confusing but Riley is about 2 and 1/2 years older than Andi. His birthday is in January.
And is almost 16 in the Last Ride. May birthday and the book opens in March, I think.
Oh, okay. That makes sense. Thank you.
Hi there is not a family tree for the Circle C. horses at least that I can see. There is one right? Sorry if my question is confusing or I am wrong. I thought I heard about one once!
I have one somewhere…. 🤪🤪
OK! Thanks!
Any idea where?
Great! Any Idea Where?
Yep, I just found it. I’ll stick it after Taffy and her colts on the “Circle C Horses” category under “Characters.”
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!
Hello Mrs. M.! I was just wondering how or what you used to make the family trees. I want to make a family tree for a few stories of mine. 😋
Those family trees were made using Microsoft Visio, an expensive program that I don’t have any longer. It could not transfer to my new laptop (not happy about that). I think I could make a good one on Canva or using Microsoft Publisher.
Okay, thanks!
The timelines were created using Publisher
What year dose Melinda Get married?
I don’t remember. Look it up on the timeline or the character page.
I did look for it but could not find it.
Well…. It’s after Andi gets back from procopios camp in courageous love, so many you can figure out the date from there. I don’t know off hand and I can’t look it up right now. Sorry!
That’s okay. I’ll look in the books and on the timelines again.
Thanks!
Mrs. M, in the family tree, is hannah and Lillian supost to have the same middle name?
Well sure! Why not? 😉
I was just wondering. 🙂 🙂
Does it say somewhere what month James Carter was born? I seem to find it, unless I’m missing it.
I don’t think I have a month… Only the year on the timeline.
Oops! I meant to say I can’t seem to find it.
whos more mature andi or riley?
if you HAD to pick ONLY ONE
Mrs. M, did Justin become a lawyer right away after he graduated in 1873?
Graduated from where? Grammar school?
Law school. Sorry I didn’t say!
