1. 30-40's
2. the mid-1940's it could be early 40's because i remember that Noah goes off to war.
3. 40s through the couples old age in present time.
4. They met in 1932. That's the year you're looking for. At least according to the book it is. From the Jacket: "Set amid the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946, The Notebook begins with the story of Noah Calhoun, a rural Southerner returned home from World War II. Noah, thirty-one, is restoring a plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images of the beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no other."
