I am new to this list and I am not sure I have the correct one for information from Long Beach CA. Is this the correct site to look for a Long Beach obituary? Could someone help with the following. According to the CA Death Index Hedley Smyth died May 21, 1966, in Long Beach. He was born in Canada March 5, 1881. Would this obituary be in the LA Times or the Long Beach Press Telegram? Is there some way to check the cemeteries in the Long Beach Area? I would appreciate any help . Maggi
