Tessa, I'm sure that Geoff would welcome help in updating the current list of timelines - I update the English PMs one but haven't done so since I recorded Cameron becoming our PM in 2010. Geoff has often asked users to submit any appropriate new ones.
BTW. I do know that you are quite time committed, but you may know of someone in your neck of the woods, or on the Virtual List.

Depending on what you want from your program, there are many ways to come up with timelines. May I suggest that you watch the recorded hangout from Legacy Virtual Users' Group - it was all about using timelines with Legacy Family Tree (using online timelines, using Genelines, using Legacy, and making your own in Legacy). The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T9KP0S0Y9k. Hope this helps you make a decision that works for you.
