There are directions on the site to order the certificates from the NYC archives. I believe each certificate would be $15 each from the archives. You could make the request Familysearch.org using the form found here - https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/5/5f/Request_for_Photocopies.pdf It will be $2 per certificate. (If you haven't used familysearch before let me know and I will look up the michofilm numbers you will need) The certificates should contain birth information - parents names, place. Also the place of death and where they are buried. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
