I sent my first cousin a Christmas card which was returned to me as "not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward." Whatever that means! He would be about 78 and every time I have ever seen him he has been obese so I am worried he might have died. We are not a particularly close family; the last time we talked was when I called him to tell him my mother had just died.

Harvey Ashton Wilson, 206 West 55th St, Austin 79751. He was an attorney, this may have been his old office address. The only mention I found online was a divorce proceeding a few years ago. He was born in Brazoria, TX. I can't remember his mother's name, father was my uncle Harvey A. Wilson.

Thanks for any help!

I had two such letters come back to me. Same language. Since a mail forwarding order from someone who is planning to move and wants their mail forwarded, can be up to one year, this means your cousin has been gone more than one year. Or they only asked for mail to be forwarded for 6 months or 3 months.
I am pretty sure the postal carrier put that sticker, or that status, on the envelope.
Versus your cousin knowing who sent it, only to hand it back to the carrier with "no, wrong address, they don't live here."

If the carrier is new or the substitute carrier worked that day, then no, they would not recognize the name as someone who does (or does not) live there and would deliver it. In that case it could have been that your cousin or other household member, handed the letter back to the carrier the next day or wrote "not deliverable as addressed" on it and dropped it into a mailbox.

He has moved but he still lives in the same general area. I am going to also send you a private message with what I hope will be successful contact info.

Good link turtle for the Op and others.

As many of us already know a never married 40's military guy was blessed with hearing from his daughter and grandchild and Facebook was the avenue.

Here's another one where ..... many people ..... go to ask for help and give help to others.
