Yes I got it. Nice of Marvel to try and put all the recent (post-M Day) revelations about Wolverine's past in some kind of order.
I could quibble over details, but even if some of this reconcilliation of all the highlights isn't perfectly accurate this outline is the "official" outline of Wolverine's history. If it wasn't available outside the US then I'd definitely say it's worth posting here.
For example, the new "official" story of Logan's early life runs:
1) Born on "The Hill" in Alberta
2) Age 12-13?- Parents death and subsequent bannishment with Rose
3) The Quarry in Brittish Columbia, Rose dies.
4) Logan works as a mercinary in Asia, including working with Chang of LL&L in Madripoor
5) Romancing Seraph
6) Meets Sabretooth while working for The Hand in Japan
7) Returns to Canada, falls in love with Silver Fox, Sabretooth (apparently) kills her,
8) Logan is manipulated into blaming the people of the town
9) Logan enlists in WWI and meets lazaer in 1915.
I think it's safe to assume that Marvel will have to move Logan's birth back before 1897 - no way all that happenned by the time he turned 18!

I was under the impression he was born in 1884 because his birth brother ws taken away when he was a baby, and the grave mark was posted as having the brother dead in 1885. Now it the first THE END still counts for something then Logan was a baby already born when the 1885 grave stone was up and he wasn't older than one if that, so he was born sometime in 1884 or early 1885 if you want to go by that story, which I for one like. AND I am super pissed for NOT getting that free book , crap  |

The only "canon" clues we've had to Wolverine's exact date of birth come from Origin issue #2 and Wolverine:The End center around the "death" of John Howlett, Jr. His tombstone is marked 1885-1897 in origin, so he was 12 in 1897 when he died or was sent away. And James Howlett was a baby in his mother's arms when it happened in The End, so he would have been born the same year John, Jr. "died." Now according to the Wolverine Saga it appears that Marvel may have to push the date of Logan's birth further back to account for all the events in his early life.
As for his exact birthday, we know it coincides with the anniversary of Silver Fox's death (the first time). When he buried her at the cabin (after she died the second time) in Wolverine (vol. 2) #65 he promised to return every year when the mountain Laurel blooms. And we know it falls before April 19 because Kitty Pryde discovered his birthday in Wolverine: First Class and throws a surprise party in hopes of buttering-up Wolvie to drive her to a Dazzler concert on that date (which must thererfor be after his birthday).
