I would suggest the NYC dept of health http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/vr/vr.shtml They should have both parents names including maiden name of your mother on record.

My mother passed a few years ago and recently my father passed. In going through papers in order to get everything settled I discovered papers stating that I was adopted. I found my real name at birth which is different from my current name. I also have my birth certificate which states that I was born in NYC but it does not list the name of the hospital. Would I be able to find my mother using my original name? Does anyone know how I could do this? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
