Question about Canon Timeline

[nicholas_lucien]

So I happened to come upon The Forever Knight Concordance, published in 1994.  It gives a very nice summary of each season 1 episode, divided down into the main plot, subplot, flashback, etc.  Towards the end it gives a pedigree of LaCroix's vampire family and notes about historical events and places in the show.  But there is also a section where it gives a timeline of Nick's life, saying it was created from things mentioned in the episodes or inferred through conversations.  Some seem a bit ... confusing so I'm not sure where this was inferred or was a story built from one mention but then who built the story?  Were some of these ideas that the writers had or stories that were going to be done but was later changed or dropped when they got back to doing season 2 and 3?  

For example, we know Nick can speak Mandarin, so according to this timeline, in 1275 Nick accompanied Marco Polo and met with Kublai Khan, becoming the Khan's tax collector and thus learning the language during that time.  Or somehow Nick is in New York in 1923 helping Harry Houdini trying to stop spiritual mediums. In 1390s Nick is a ship Captain during the 100 years war.  Nick was born in Parhenay, France.

So does anyone know anything about this timeline of events?

I feel like there must have been some changes or stories that just didn't get used.
