US Lookup Requests / Looking for Grandfather's Address in 1959-1980, NYC phonebooks
« on: Wednesday 04 March 20 22:08 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I am doing some genealogical research and I've hit a roadblock trying to verify my grandfather's address in the 1960- 1970's in Manhattan.
My grandfather's name was Moe Karpf, and the address I am trying to verify is 350 west 57th Street. Perhaps another relative lived here here during that period? My grandfather passed away over 30 years ago, and my family thought he and my grandmother lived in Brooklyn during this time.
Does anyone have access to Manhattan phone books from this range of time? They are unfortunately not available online yet, and I'd need to travel all the way across the country to check the New York Public Library in person. This is an uncommon surname/spelling , so there will probably only be a few listings matching(even in NYC).
