Bange newspaper milestones

A short by-date view. Newspaper issue dates remain distinct from event dates, and unidentified people stay separate.

Family milestones in the newspapers

Small events belong in the family record too. Dates below identify the newspaper issue, not necessarily the day of the event. Exact event dates are stated when the report gives them; plans and candidacies remain plans and candidacies.
