482 new newspapers added

Newspapers.com has added new content this summer, from 482 newspapers across the US, Canada, England and Scotland. There's a subscription required, but if you have Ancestry's All Access or a Newspapers.com subscription, you can now search in these sources.

Several Spanish language newspapers have been added from California. A quick look in some of these papers for "Campuzano" revealed an entry for Jose Maria Campuzano, who I wrote about previously as a tailor in Los Angeles in 1875.

Las Dos Republicas. 27 Feb 1875.

Another entry shows Jose Maria Campuzano was in Los Angeles from October 1873, as there was a letter sent through Wells Fargo express for him. An earlier entry in the newspaper was dated from 6 September 1873, for another letter sent through Wells Fargo. Jose Maria also contributed funds for a Cinco de Mayo event in Los Angeles in May 1873.

Las Dos Republicas. 4 Oct 1873.

 I have more looking to do in these new sources.
