Looking for Michael and Richard Goodman born in mid 1940's to Abraham (Sam) and Bobbie Goodman

Question

I am Michael A Miller and I am new to WikiTree. I manage the Miller Family Tree in an effort to fill in many missing pieces to my heritage. I have had reasonable success, but have reached a road block trying to find and include my cousins Michael and Richard Goodman (father Abraham or Al Goodman and mother Blanche (Bobbie) Goodman ne Amato.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mike

Comments

Geographic location would help in finding an answer. What country, county and or city were Michael and Richard born in? If it's USA or Canada, what state or province?

Dear Michael,

   Welcome to WikiTree!  Sounds like you have done a lot of good work on your family tree already.  What are you wishing you could find about your cousins?  

   There are several ways WikiTree protects living people.  It is possible that your cousins are here, but partially hidden for privacy.  Or are you trying to find their emails so you can invite them?

    Let us know what specific information you seek, and maybe we can help out.  And welcome.  -NGP

I do not have as much information on the Goodman brothers which has made it difficult to track them down. Here is what I have:

1.  Michael and Richard Goodman were born in the New York area (possibly Brooklyn) in the middle 1940's (do not have a specific date). They grew up on Long Island, but not sure where.

2. Parents are Abraham (Al) Goodman and Blanche (Bobbie) Goodman ne Amato.

3. Bobbie is my Aunt (Mother's sister) which makes Michael and Richard my cousins.

4. Have received a reply citing Soc. sec.  death notice for Michael with these details: Born 04 Sep 1945 in Brooklyn (a real possibility); died 15 August 2000. I have not yet verified this.

Thank you for your reply.

Mike

Answer 2

Are your cousins still living? I was born in the mid-40s, and I am hopeful that I have another decade or two. Even if they are deceased, it can be difficult to locate online information. Could you furnish more data points for us to narrow down where we should be searching? Do you know where and when any of them were born or lived during their lifetimes?
