Were there many newspapers published in New York city between 1865 & 1895? My Gr. Grandfather, Lorenzo W. COTHRELL, was an actor/comedian & used the stage name George J. ANDERSON. His wife, my Gr. Grandmother, kept a scrap book of many newspaper articles about his acting career. He travelled across the country with a vaudeville group & evidently appeared in New York city as well. In one NY newspaper he is referred to as "The Bowery's Favorite Comedian". I saw the scrap book just briefly many years ago & I had planned to borrow it & make copies. The scrap book has gone missing & I don't have a subscription to online newspapers but wonder if it would be worth the expense to subscribe to one & try to find that one article.

I use both sources, but have found much, much more on Newspapers.com via my Ancestry subscription. It is also easier to print the articles on Newspapers.com and they have the source printed at the top of the page where I have to remember to write on the GenealogyBank.com articles the newspaper name and date.

Does anyone have experience using Newspapers.com versus Genealogy Bank for New York and New Jersey historical newspapers? When I subscribed to "the bank," the selections of NYC newspapers was disappointing. It seems that the only historical New Jersey newspapers online are via Genealogy Bank. Comments, please?
