I wish to obtain two death certificates from New York City. I need some guidance in what the process is for doing so. One death certificate would be for my maternal grandfather. He died in 1957 in Manhattan; the other death certificate is for a great-aunt who died in 1960 in The Bronx. Can I even obtain these based on om relationship; what should I use for a reason (i.e. will I be refused if I use the reason as "genealogy"?); What would be the cost (there is an on-line service, Archives, which charges a $15 processing fee on top of a $32 cost for the certificates); and, finally, how do I obtain the forms?ThanksBob Liddell

You have to order these from the NYC Dept, of Health at 125 Worth Street in lower Manhattan. There should be forms on the Jewishgen.org Site for this . I believe the cost is $15.00 but it could be higher now. Good luck.
