Sources and credits
The dates of Laura, Freddie, Almanzo and Rose come from the biography of the American Battlefield Trust. The dates of Charles, Mary, Carrie and Grace and the account of the books come from the Wikipedia articles, which cite the family records, and they disagree on Charles Ingalls’s day of birth. All were read on 10 November 2026. The photographs are old pictures of the real family in the public domain on Wikimedia Commons, where their photographers and dates are not recorded. Nothing from the books, their illustrations or the television series is shown.
