In the movies… just know about Apocalypse, and probably his Horsemen, for certain.

In the comics: Selene (~15000 BC), Apocalypse (~5000 BC), Azazel (biblical times), Exodus (~1100s AD), probably Irene Adler (she’s supposed to have inspired the one from Sherlock Holmes, so she’d be an adult by 1891), possibly Mystique (contemporary of Irene and Logan, adult by 1921). Wolverine’s birth year is sometime in the early to mid 1880s.
