Long Beach’s sidewalks contain impressed “signatures” of many construction companies and contractors who plied their trade in the city. If your ancestor owned or worked for one of those companies, our “Sidewalk Signatures” series will be of interest to you.

RESEARCH TIP: Document names on pavement, curbs, and buildings wherever your travels take you. A cell phone camera makes it easy to do a “random act of genealogical kindness” for a local historical or genealogical society—just send them the photos you took of their sidewalk inscriptions!
