Yes the date of the 26th and last founding is 738M41 so if you have your Chapter created then they will still have been in existance for over 200 years. There is a a trait in the new Dex (which i can't for the life of me remember the name of, I'm at work and my Dex is at home ;) ) which you can use to represent new or decimated chapters. It restricts the number of elite choices you can take - I think  :tu: I'm sure some of the more knowlegeable members will correct me if I'm wrong.
The traits StormDragon is talking about are Aspire to glory (a major drawback, perfect for representing recently founded chapters) and Faithful unto death (a minor drawback, representing chapters that have taken grievous losses)...

40,995 DEFENSE OF ICHAR IVCalgar acts as supreme commander in defense of Ichar IV, a vital industrial world on the Eastern Fringe. Tyranid invaders from Hivefleet Kraken held in check by the combined efforts of Space Marines, Imperial Guard and alien Eldar forces.

 

40,998 Historicus Coran Celecius tried for heresy after his work links the Aphis hermitage massacre to the Necrontyr and other
