"Is it possible to get copies of wills filed in Manhattan or the Bronx without going to the appropriate office? I live in Florida. Can I get a will either on line or by mail? I want to find the will of my grandfather, Morris Hefter who died 17 Sept 1917 at 22 W 31 St, Manhattan and his brother, Leonard Hefter, who died 27 Feb 1921 at 2210 Cedar Ave, the Bronx."

* L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH)
Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, Rosh ha Shannah begins at sunset on Monday, October 3 on the civil calendar.
