Hello All.... I’m looking for some information on Patrolman Rosenfeld. He may have been my Great Uncle... And was possibly the older brother (or father) to my Aunt Florence.. (who I believe her maiden name was Rosenfeld) (and from what I was told was Miss Bronx back in the day if that helps) was married to my uncle Irving Katz and at the time lived in Franklyn Square NY. If anyone knows if Sam was related to a Florence Can you please let me know... I have a picture of a Samuel Rosenfeld in an NYPD uniform.. I love to know more.

Thank you all for your time..
Respectfully;
Marc
