The Admiral and Samantha's Grandmary were in love even when when she was married to Samantha's grandfather.

Her husband died many years ago but she keeps refusing the Admiral's marriage proposals. Why? Is she just being loyal to her late husband? Or is it out of guilt? Plus, Grandmary seems like the type of person to marry a man for reasons other than love. It's very possible that she agreed the marry Mr. Edwards because it was the respectable thing to do and fell madly in love when she met his best friend. I can't see Grandmary ever having an affair but quietly pining for years, yes!

Uncle Gard and Cornelia are time travellers
That's why they are somewhat more forward thinking than other characters, and why Cornelia is so certain that airplanes will one day carry passengers. Uncle Gard was somehow able to travel from his own time in the early 1900s to an era a few decades in the future, fell in love with Cornelia there, and brought her and her sisters back to live with him.

All of the historical characters exist in the same universe.
In addition, several of the characters are related/have met one another, due to the overlapping eras.
  • Because this troper gives way to much thought to silly things, here's an approximate list (Feel free to correct any mathematical mistakes)
    • Everyone starts as 9 during their stories
      • Kaya's starts in 1764
      • Kaya would be 19 during Felicity's stories
      • Felicity would be 47 during Caroline's Stories (Kaya would be 57)
      • Caroline would be 21 in Josefina's stories (Kaya 69, Felicity 59)
      • Josefina would be 38 during Cecile Rey and Marie-Grace's time (Caroline 50, Felicity 88)
      • Cecile Rey and Marie Grace would be the grand old age of 10 during Kirsten's
      • Kirsten would be 19 during Addy's time
      • Addy would be 49 in Samantha's time (Josefina 49, Caroline 61)
      • Samantha Would be 19 in Rebecca's story
      • Rebecca would be 29 during Kit's Story (Samantha 39, Kirsten 89, and Cecile and Marie-Grace 90)
      • Kit wouls be 19 during Molly's
      • and Molly would be 39 during Julie's
Of course it should be noted that Kaya, being located on the west coast probably wouldn't have had the opertunity to meet any of the others seeing as western expansion for the colonies didn't get that far until Kirsten's time. Josefina would have been closest in the Mexican settlements,but Kaya would be ancient by then if not gone.
  • Of them all Samantha and Rebecca would be the most likely to cross paths, considering the small time gap and being in the same area.
Julie Albright is the mother of Kailey Hopkins.
Both live in California. Their resemblance is uncanny. If Kailey Hopkins was 10 years old around 2002-2003, and Julie Albright turned 10 in 1976, Julie would be around the right age to be Kailey's mother.
Kit will become a Kick-Ass foreign correspondent/spy during WWII
Come on, the fanfics write themselves!

Both Kit and Molly went to movies starring the brilliant actress, Rebecca Rubin.
Taking a clue from the above WMG which assumes the stories are all in the same universe. Since Rebecca, Kit and Molly have the most overlap in time periods, it's not so much of a stretch that Rebecca's acting career encompasses the two later periods.
