Seeking my family in New York

djacoel Jul 17, 2019 8:56 AM

I have a card dated September 27, 1968 from my great aunt and uncle Fleischman residing at 854 W. 180th street in New York, N.Y. 10033. There are no first names and I want to know who they are or were and where to find my family.

How do I find my family that resides in New York? My father really didn't talk much about them but I know his father had a brother and sister. The brother lived in New York city but I'm not sure about his sister. I have a card from them I found after my father died. All that is written on it is that it is from aunt and uncle and family. On the envelope is the address 854 W. 180 Street New York, N.Y. 10033 and the date Sept 27, 1968.
