Yes I have. I helps me quite a bit to see seemingly unrelated events form a pattern or provide clues when seen in chronological order. I include historical events (battles, county formations, etc.). Pardon me for it's length but I'm posting here it in case anyone can help fill in some blanks or make connections and corrections. I don't make any claims of proof though. Many entries are of the "I think" type. It's a work in progress.
