Deciphering old German writing in ancestor paperwork



  I have a copy of my great grandmothers marriage certificate. I am fluent in the German language, but when it comes to reading old German then that is a whole other story. I had to ask my mom and aunt for help in figuring out what the documents said.


Marriage certificate:
 
I think the marriage certificate says Helene Berta Frieda Matthes born: Ponce.
lives in Berlin
Born June 10, 1902 in Falkenburg, Kreis Dromburg
Falkenburg Wednesday 20th of August, 1933 (Berlin-Mitte)



My great grandmothers name was Helene Schramke born: Ponce. My grandfather always said that she was french. My grandfather was born in Berlin and that is where his parents married.
